Hemodynamic differences among hypertensive patients with and without heart failure using impedance cardiography.

In this study, hypertensive patients with HF had significantly lower values of blood flow parameters, contractility, and left work indices compared with hypertensive patients without HF. These differences reflected the incorrect hemodynamic pattern (mostly hypodynamic) of these patients. Impedance cardiography (ICG) seems to be an adequate method to reflect these differences.
