Cardiac output measurement in patients with an implanted pacemaker.
In this paper we present a study of measuring the cardiac output at patients with implanted pacemakers. The cardiac output is measured with respect to the atrio-ventricular delay. We have scored the maximum relative cardiac output for each patient. For the measurement we have used a home made digital bioimpedance monitor for impedance cardiography. The result of 26 patients is presented in this study.
