... Finapres arterial pulse wave analysis with Modelflow ® is a reliable non-invasive method for the assessment of cardiac output in healthy elderly subjects. We compared Modelflow ® cardiac output (MFCO) with thermodilution cardiac output (TDCO) in 28 healthy subjects, aged 70±4years (mean±S.D.). TDCO...
