| dc.description | By introducing an alternating current through the ventricular cavity via a multipolar catheter the potential difference measured between adjacent electrodes can be used to assess ventricular volume. This is possible by the measurement of intracardiac impedance. The data obtained can be used to construct pressure-volume loops allowing the continuous real-time assessment of myocardial contractility. Clinical applications of this research tool are now becoming apparent. Further derivations of impedance measurement have been incorporated into commercially available permanent pacing systems, allowing effective heart rate modulation. |
