Impedance Cardiography Test (ICG)
The ICG test is a completely noninvasive test that can be performed in either a physician's office or hospital setting to provide your physician information about your heart's ability to deliver blood to the rest of your body, the force your heart has to pump against with each heartbeat, and the amount of fluid in your chest.
Why would I need an ICG test?
If you are being treated in the physician's office and have heart failure, high blood pressure, lung disease, a pacemaker, or are on any cardiac drugs, then the ICG test may provide helpful information for your physician to make decisions about your drug therapy or pacemaker settings.
