Comparison of non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by bioimpedance and echocardiography in cardiac intensive care unit patients
Authors:N. Kofman; A.;A. Rotmansh; E. Kalmanovich Conclusion: Even in the hands of cardiologists trained in performing echocardiographic hemodynamic evaluations, the measurement consistency is relatively low. Evaluation done by NICaS provides a much closer result correlation. Monitoring using the NICaS system can give an excellent noninvasive solution for hemodynamic assessment. The abstract can be provided upon […]
Non-Invasive Hemodynamic Whole-Body Bioimpedance Indices for the Early Detection of Cancer Treatment-Related Cardiotoxicity: A Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Nili Schamroth Pravda, Shaul Lev , Osnat Itzhaki Ben Zadok, Ran Kornowski, Zaza Iakobishvili Conclusion: GGI, a parameter measured by WBI, can reliably correlate to biomarker evidence of heart failure in patients after chemotherapy. Its use as a screening tool for cardiotoxicity in patients with ongoing anticancer therapy is promising. For the full article […]
Accurate noninvasive continuous monitoring of cardiac output by whole body electrical bioimpedance
Authors: Gad Cotter , Yaron Moshkovitz, Edo Kaluski, Amram J Cohen, Hilton Miller, Daniel Goor, Zvi Vered The results of the study indicate that the measurements taken by the NICaS are accurate in rapid, noninvasive measurement and follow-up of CO in a wide range of cardiac clinical situations.

Consistency between Impedance Technique and Echocardiogram Hemodynamic Measurements in Neonates
Authors: Wenshen Wu, Sulian Lin, Caixuan Xie, Jianbo Li, Jingen Lie, Shuyi Qiu Conclusion: Agreement between the IT and ECHO in the cardiac output measurement appeared acceptable. However, the accuracy and precision of the IT approach should be further investigated using a larger sample. For the full article click here
Non-Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in TAVI-patients reveals more pronounced early in-hospital circulatory recovery for low-gradient aortic stenosis
Authors: Birgit Markus, Holger Ahrens, Bernard Schieffer and more. Conclusion: NICaS monitoring represents an accurate non-invasive bedside tool to discriminate adaptive circulatory changes in subgroups of aortic stenosis patients subjected to TAVI. Hemodynamic parameters recovered more effectively in LG-AS patients after the procedure. Whether a measurement-guided approach might be used for tailored peri-procedural management and […]
Early post-stress decrease in cardiac performance by impedance cardiography and its relationship to the severity and extent of ischemia by myocardial perfusion imaging
Authors: Ronen Goldkorn, Alexey Naimushin, Eli Rozen & Dov Freimark Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that the immediate post-stress changes in several hemodynamic parameters as detected by the NICaS can be used as an important adjunct to the diagnostic approach for the early detection of myocardial ischemia. These findings can be used […]
Neonatal and Pediatric General and Cardiac Anesthesia and ICU
Bari Pediatric Hospital Experience-Italy Authors: R Beck , L Milella , C Labellarte We compared the NICaS data in double-check with a pediatric algorithm using a CardioQ ultrasonograph cardiac evaluation device (CardioQ, Deltex medical; terminus RD, Chichester P019 8TX; United Kingdom). We noticed that there was a good relation between the comparative data: these first […]
Impedance cardiographt in the evaluation of the hemodynamic profile in dilated cardiopathy
Authors: María Carolina Duarte Martínez, Carlos Andres Peñaherrera, Ernesto Peñaherrera Patiño A cross-sectional study in a public hospital in Ecuador. Chronic arterial hypertension is the main cause of dilated heart disease in our country. These patients have decreased hemodynamic heart pump patterns (systolic dysfunction), and increased total peripheral resistance, as would be expected. Cardio impedance […]
The role of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring in the evaluation of acute and severe pesticide poisoning
Authors: Gao X,Chen ML, Wang YF, Zhu QQ, Zhu BY, Wang P,Kong FT, Conclusion: NICaS can effectively monitor the hemodynamic indexes of patients with acute pesticide poisoning. For the full article click here
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
