OP-171 the Comparison of Estimated Continuous and Transthoracic Echocardiographic Cardiac Output Measurements in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure

Cardiac output (CO) is an important hemodynamic parameter in the treatment of the heart failure. Conventionally, this is obtained at bedside by the thermodilution technique with an invasive procedure such as pulmonary artery catheter. However, estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) and echocardiographic (echoCO) method are completely noninvasive measurement of CO. The study aims to do a comparison between these two namely esCCO and echo CO methods.
