Preferred Label : cardiography, impedance;
MeSH definition : 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.;
