Abstract
PURPOSE: To provide an overview of impedance cardiography and to address the controversial question of whether impedance cardiography should be used as a standard of care in the management of systolic heart failure. DATA SOURCES: Selected research-based articles from PubMed and ProQuest on bioimpedance cardiography and Cox's Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior. CONCLUSION: Noninvasive impedance cardiography provides a means of obtaining hemodynamic measurements which can assist healthcare providers to more effectively manage patients with systolic heart failure. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Incorporating the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior with the use of impedance cardiography may assist the client to actively engage in the management of their disease and improve the client-practitioner interaction; provides objective evidence of systolic heart failure status on which to base clinical decisions; and may ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.
