Validation of Electrical Cardiometry Versus Fick Method in Cardiac Output Measurement

January 15, 2017 updated by: Yandong Jiang, Massachusetts General Hospital

Validation of Electrical Cardiometry Versus Fick Method to Measure Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output in Patients With or Suspected of Having Heart Failure

The investigators would like to find out if AESCULON®, a new device that non-invasively and continuously measures cardiac output using electrical cardiometry, works as well as one existing method--Fick method in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
