Impedance cardiography in the evaluation of the hemodynamic profile in dilated cardiopathy
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 is an effective, comfortable, and non-invasive method in the approach to cardiovascular diseases.
