What kind of medical examination picks up cardiac force?
Friday, March 14th, 2008Wolf asked:
Palpitations are often the result of elevated cardiac contraction force.
The ECG can pick up tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, ventricullar fibrillation, cardiac arrest, atrioventricullar fibrillation, ectopic beats etc.
The holter monitor does pretty much the same job.
Other equiptment show the pumping ability of the heart, while other machines show structural heart damage and obstructions, say myocardial infarction or pulmonary thrombosis.

What would need to be carried out to measure cardiac contraction force?
