Comparison of stroke volume measurements during hemodialysis using bioimpedance cardiography and echocardiography
Authors: Michael J. Germain,Jyovani Joubert,Daniel O’Grady,Brian H. Nathanson,Yossi Chait,Nathan W. Levin NICaS SV measurements are similar to and strongly correlated with Echo SV measurements. This suggests that noninvasive NiCaS technology may be a practical method for measuring SV during HD. For the full article click here

Validation of Non-invasive Cardiac System (NICaS) Derived Stroke Volume With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Authors: Pedram Hassan-Tash, Umar Ismail, Gurkirat Chana, Iain Kirkpatrick, Davinder S Jassal, Brett Hiebert, Amir Ravandi, Malek Kass, Ashish H Shah Conclusion: Stroke volume measured using NICaS strongly correlated with that from CMR. NICaS also demonstrated strong consistency in SV derived at different time points in the same individual. For the full article click here
Whole-body bioimpedance monitoring for outpatient chronic heart failure follow up
Authors: Yusuke Tanino, Junya Shite, Oscar L Paredes, Toshiro Shinke, Daisuke Ogasawara, Takahiro Sawada, Hiroyuki Kawamori, Naoki Miyoshi, Hiroki Kato, Naoki Yoshino, Ken-ichi Hirata Conclusion: Hemodynamic parameters derived by NICaS are applicable for the non-invasive assessment of cardiac function in outpatient CHF follow-up.

Whole-body electrical bio-impendance is accurate in non invasive determination of cardiac output: A thermodilution controlled, prospective, double blind evaluation.
Authors: Guillermo Torre-Amione, Olga Milo, Edo Kaluski, Zvi Vered, Gad Cotter NICaS is a novel accurate noninvasive method for CO determination. The results of this study suggest that the NICaS might be more accurate than thermodilution for CO determination due to the tendency of thermodilution to underestimate CO when high and overestimate it when low. […]
The reliability of noninvasive cardiac system hemodynamic monitoring in the cardiac intensive care patient requiring mechanical circulatory support
Authors: Guido Tavazzi, Policlinico San Matteo Pavia Fondazione, A Fernandez-Gasalla, Ana Barradas-Pires, Yoseph Mebrate Conclusion: Both Pearson correlation and linear regression demonstrated an excellent correlation between CO measured by echo and the NICaS. NICaS looks to be a reliable noninvasive CO monitoring in ICU patients. For the full article click here
Perioperative sequential monitoring of hemodynamic parameters in patients with pheochromocytoma using the NICaS
Authors: Yayoi Matsuda, Hisaya Kawate, Shingo Shimada, Chitose Matsuzaki, Hiromi Nagata, Masahiro Adachi, Keizo Ohnaka, Masatoshi Nomura, Ryoichi Takayanagi Conclusion: The results of this study show the potential usefulness of sequential monitoring of hemodynamic status using NICaS in patients with pheochromocytoma during the perioperative period. Despite some limitations, NICaS-derived CO seems to be applicable to […]
Non-invasive measurement of cardiac output by whole-body bio-impedance during dobutamine stress echocardiography: Clinical implications in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and ischemia
Authors: Gad Cotter, Marina Laitman, Edgar Sucher, Eli Peleg, Edo Kaluski, Ruth Wolf, Zvi Vered Conclusion: Measurement of CI by NICaS correlated well with Doppler-derived CI. The calculation of Cpi and TPRI changes during dobutamine stress may provide important clinical information. For the full article click here
Baseline Granov-goor index predicts acute hemodynamic improvement during CRT optimization
Authors: Stefan Bogan, Israel Mazin, Igor Lipchenca, David Bar Lev , Osnat Gurevitz, Eyal Nof, Ilan Goldenberg, Sagit Ben Zekry, Michael Eldar, Michael Glikson, Roy Beinart Conclusion: Baseline GGI predicted acute hemodynamic improvement during NICaS guided CRT optimization. A baseline of 11.5 could be possibly used in order to outline those who may benefit from […]
Cardiac Power Is the Strongest Hemodynamic Correlate of Mortality in Cardiogenic Shock: A Report from the SHOCK Trial Registry
Authors: Rupert Fincke , Judith S Hochman, April M Lowe, Venu Menon, James N Slater, John G Webb, Thierry H LeJemtel, Gad Cotter, SHOCK Investigators Conclusion: Cardiac power is a novel hemodynamic measure. By incorporating both flow and pressure domains, it represents the cardiac pumping ability. In the present study, cardiac power is the strongest […]
