What kind of medical examination picks up cardiac force?

Wolf 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?

An idea cardiac output you an idea cardiac output you can also aproximate ot using swan ganz catheter it measures the right side of your heart it is inserted through either the innominate vein or cardiac output by hemodilution techniques using echo dopplers or seperior vena cava into the dye.

an echocardiogram would be the best test to show functionality. it basically displays a constant ultrasound of the heart while it’s pumping, so you can gauge functionality in terms of contractility and ejection fraction.
