- The study explores non-invasive cardiac function measurement during exercise training in adults.
- Eleven patients with various cardiac conditions were monitored using the AESCULON mini device during cardiac rehabilitation.
- Key findings include increased stroke volume and cardiac output post-exercise, and decreased thoracic fluid content.
- Thoracic fluid content before and after exercise correlated with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.
- Changes in stroke volume and cardiac output were linked to peak VO2 and other exercise capacity metrics.
- The AESCULON mini's hemodynamic data showed potential for monitoring heart failure progression and estimating exercise capacity in cardiac rehabilitation.
