The Advanced Hemodynamics software is now available for your Finapres® NOVA. It can be upgraded during its lifetime at any time.
Features
- Non-invasive beat-to-beat hemodynamic parameters such as Cardiac Output and Stroke Volume
- Optimized for trending
- Absolute CO accuracy through calibration
Parameters
- Cardiac Output (CO & CI)
- Stroke Volume (SV & SVI)
- Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR & SVRI)
- Cardiac contractility (dP / dt)
- Left Ventricular Ejection Time (LVET)
- Maximal surface of the aorta
- Rate pressure product (RPP)
- Model computation of the aortic flow waveform (mFlow)
- Systolic pressure time index (SPTI)
- Diastolic pressure time index (DPTI)
- DPTI/SPTI ratio
- Aortic Impedance (Zao)
- Windkessel Compliance (Cwk)
- Peripheral Resistance (Rp)
- Baroreceptor Sensitivity (BRS)
Advanced Hemodynamics
As an example of a potential application of the HD software, the image shows the immediate blood pressure (reBAP), heart rate, CO and SV response during a stand test recorded with the Finapres® NOVA.
First plot: reBAP signal. Second plot: CO and SV. Third plot: RR interval (requires ECG+resp configuration)
