Welcome to BIT, Inc.'s Home Page!
Bio-Impedance Technology, Inc. produces software
and instrumentation for Bio-electric Impedance Cardiography. Bioelectric impedance
cardiography is a non-invasive and unobtrusive technique for obtaining estimates of cardiac
performance, including cardiac output, systolic time intervals, and cardiac contractility.
It is used primarily with humans because it is a no-risk procedure, but it may also be applied
to large animals. Numerous research and clinical studies have been reported in the scientific
journals, with many of them demonstrating the accuracy of the technique relative to invasive
measurement procedures. In general, these studies indicate that the technique is a more valid
index of relative changes than of absolute values for cardiac output and stroke volume. If
simultaneous blood pressure measurements are taken with impedance cardiography measurements,
then systemic vascular resistance measures can be derived.
