Impedance cardiography (ICG), a noninvasive method of hemodynamic monitoring, is a useful tool in the care of critically ill patients. Use of this technology shows promise in the hemodynamic assessment of hypertensive stroke patients. This study describes the different ICG findings of patients with hypertensive stroke and correlates parameters with patient outcome.
