This is a totally safe and noninvasive test that provides your physician information about your heart's ability.
The Impedance Cardiography test is is performed by placing sensors on each side of your neck and chest. A cable from the monitor is connected to the sensors. Information about your height, weight and age will be entered into the computer. The test will be recorded as you lie on your back and remain still for two to five minutes.
Your ICG report will be printed at this time for the physician to review. The cables will be removed. Your physician will explain the results of the test with you and answer any questions that you may have.
