Effect of body characteristics on the variables of signal-averaged electrocardiogram in healthy teenage subjects.

abstract：:Low cardiac output in acute heart failure can result in a functional impairment of organs, when tissue hypoxia occurs and cardiogenic shock develops. To restore cardiac output, various forms of therapy can be considered. Fluid replacement is sometimes beneficial in acute situations where oedema can reduce effective pl...
