MeSH Heading: Cardiography, Impedance
Tree Number(s): E01.370.370.380.160; E01.370.370.610.610.200
Unique ID: D002307
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002307
Scope Note: A type of impedance plethysmography in which bioelectrical impedance is measured between electrodes positioned around the neck and around the lower thorax. It is used principally to calculate stroke volume and cardiac volume, but it is also related to myocardial contractility, thoracic fluid content, and circulation to the extremities.
