Comparing Cardiac Output Measurements Using a Wearable, Wireless, Non-invasive PPG-Based Device to a Swan Ganz Catheter

Comparing Cardiac Output Measurements Using a Wearable, Wireless, Non-invasive PPG-Based Device to a Swan Ganz Catheter During Ambulatory Assessment of CHF Patients

Invasive pulmonary capillary wedge pressure measurements using a Swan-Ganz catheter (SGC) is considered the gold standard for cardiac output (CO) monitoring. In this prospective study, we will compare CO measurements between a PPG-based wearable monitor and a SGC in ambulatory CHF patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with CHF
