Cheney's ICG Test /Tilt Table Protocol

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know if there is a way to get around using a tilt table

for Dr. Cheney's ICG (Impedance Cardiography Test) Protocol which

requires 4 tilt table settings?

I am having problems finding both pieces of equipment necessary for

the protocol in the same office. Tilt Tables are an outpatient

procedure done in hospitals, where there is no ICG equipment and

Cardiolgists do not have tilt tables in their offices.

Does anyone know what the 4 settings are? I had heard 30% and 70%,

what are the other two settings and where can I access this

information?

According to Cardio Dynamics, the maker of the ICG equipment, Dr.

Peckerman used 2 readings: supine and standing. It seems that unless

Cheney found it useful to have 4 readings, he would not have altered

the protocol.

Thanks.
