TASK FORCE MONITOR ” the non-invasive system”

Methods

Beat-to-beat blood pressure is recorded by the vascular unloading technique (fingerplethysmography) by

means of a two-finger cuff and is corrected automatically to oscillometric blood pressure (a. brachialis).

During the measurement no interruption for calibration is necessary.

Impedance cardiography for stroke volume measurement and ECG is recorded through electrodes placed

on thorax and neck.

All signals (beat-to-beat blood pressure, ICG and ECG) are displayed in synchronised form, analysis is performed

beat-to-beat and online (hemodynamic parameters).

Autonomic nervous function: HRV and BPV are assessed trough online spectral analysis, while baroreflex

sensitivity is analysed by applying the sequence method.

Applications

• SYNCOPE: assessment according to guidelines (ESC, ACC, ect.)
• NEUROPATHY: early diagnosis and assessment.
• PACEMAKER: adjustment and therapeutic observation.
• VASOACTIVE DRUGS: evaluation of response.
• CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE: risk stratification according to

        Guidelines (ESA, ACC, ect.)

• HYPERTENSION: establishment of underlying cause and

        observation of therapy.

• OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE: assessment of fitness.
• DIALYSIS: hemodynamic monitoring.
• DRUG RESEARCH: evaluation of hemodynamic effects.
• SPORTS MEDICINE: stress testing and training condition.
