Table 4 Correlation between LVEF and ICG data.

ICG parameter	Correlation coefficient	P-value
TFC	−0.083	0.151
TFCI	−0.163
CO	0.009	0.877
SI	0.137
STR	0.236
LCW	0.029	0.619
LCWI	0.098	0.091
LVEF – left ventricular ejection fraction; ICG – transthoracic impedance cardiography; TFC – thoracic fluid content; TFCI – thoracic fluid content index; CO – cardiac output; SI – systolic index; STR – systolic time ratio; LCW – left cardiac work; LCWI – left cardiac work index.
