Abstract
In the lower range of cardiac output (CO, up to 15 l min(-1)), we found an excellent agreement between CO measured by bioimpedance and carbon dioxide rebreathing techniques. CO estimated by bioimpedance was generally lower. T he bioimpedance method had better reproducibility. Both methods seem valuab le for non-invasive studies in healthy subjects at work.
