Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical usefulness of measuring the heart's pumping ability by measuring the Peripheral Pulse Volume (PPV).
Detailed Description
Peripheral Pulse Volume (PPV) is the change in the volume of a limb that occurs when blood passes through the limb. The limb also acts as an electrical conductor whose electrical impedence changes wit...
