In chronic heart failure (CHF), titration of vasodilating medications is often guided by monitoring of systolic blood pressure (BP). However, systolic BP may not indicate the patient's true vasoactive status-best approximated by systemic vascular resistance-because cardiac output is also a contributing factor. Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a validated noninvasive method of measuring cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.
