Brief Summary

Cardiac output (CO) is a key variable when describing the cardiovascular system. Electrical cardiometry (EC) is a non-invasive method in measuring stroke volume and cardiac output. However, its accuracy has been inconsistent. Therefore Martin et al. have compared measurements with echocardiographic measurements and propose calibration with left ventricle outflow tract (LVOT)-measurements obtained from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). This study was performed in pregnant women at term. Goal of this study is to validate their formula in non-pregnant outpatients undergoing echocardiography for cardiology work-up. Secondary aim is to perform a leg raising test and to compare changes in stroke volume observed with either EC or TTE.

  • agreement Stroke volume

    SV measured by TTE, RHC and EC will be compared

    3 seconds

Study Arms (3)

TTE vs. EC + calibration group

OTHER

50 Patients undergoing routine transthoracic echocardiography at laboratory for transthoracic echocardiography at the department of cardiology of Medical University Vienna will be enrolled following informed consent. Non-inclusion criteria are inability to understand study procedure and age under 18 years old. Patients with any grade of aortic regurgitation, congenital heart disease with intracardiac shunt (left-right shunt or right-left shunt) or arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) or withdrawing consent during study procedure will be excluded. In addition, patients with intraabdominal (IAH), intracranial (ICH) hypertension or any disease of the hip joint, will not be included into the trial.

Other: TTE vs. EC + calibration group

Right heart catheterisation

OTHER

Twenty five patients undergoing routine right heart catheterization (RHC) at the department of cardiology for the evaluation of suspected pulmonary hypertension or heart failure will be included in this trial. EC measurements will be obtained during RHC, and a TTE (for measuring LVOT-area) will be performed immediately before undergoing RHC. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are similar as described above.

Procedure: right heart catheterisation

Passive leg raising test

50 Patients undergoing routine transthoracic echocardiography at laboratory for transthoracic echocardiography at the department of cardiology of Medical University Vienna will be enrolled following informed consent. Non-inclusion criteria are inability to understand study procedure and age under 18 years old. Patients with any grade of aortic regurgitation, congenital heart disease with intracardiac shunt (left-right shunt or right-left shunt) or arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation) or withdrawing consent during study procedure will be excluded. In addition, patients with intraabdominal (IAH), intracranial (ICH) hypertension or any disease of the hip joint, will not be included into the trial. SV and CO will be measured using TTE and EC. Patient's legs will then be raised by 45degree, and SV and CO measurements will be repeated after 1 minute. Changes in SV and CO observed with both methods will be compared.

Other: passive leg raising test

Interventions

CO in patients undergoing routine right heart catheterisation will be measured and compared between 3 methodologies: right heart catheterisation, TTE and EC

Right heart catheterisation

Patients undergoing routine echocardiography are exposed to a passive leg raising test. Change in SV will be measured by TTE and compared to changes in SV measured by EC.

Passive leg raising test

Patients will undergo routine echocardiography. CO and SV will be measured by TTE and compared to measurements obtained from simultaneous EC-measurements.

TTE vs. EC + calibration group
