Impedance cardiography is
a medical technology breakthrough
that provides physicians safe, noninvasive, and cost-effective
access to information about your heart’s ability to deliver
blood to your body and the amount of fluid in your chest. This
vital data assists your physician to help identify underlying
cardiovascular disorder, assess and diagnose, customize and
target treatment, and monitor the effectiveness of prescribed
medications.
The ICG is just as easy to apply as an EKG. Four special
patches are placed on the neck and chest. A very small
electrical signal is transmitted through the chest. Within
minutes, the signal is analyzed by sophisticated software and
recorded. The reports provide easy access to 12 vital
parameters about your heart.
Did you know….
- that Impedance Cardiography technology was initially used by
NASA to monitor astronauts in space flight?
- that ICG is now available in over 70 countries and is being used
by the top heart centers to help diagnose and treat high blood
pressure, heart failure, pulmonary disease?
- that this innovative technology is also being used in major
technologically advanced medical centers such as the Mayo
Clinic, Yale New Haven Hospital, Arizona Heart Institute, and
Baylor College of Medicine? |
