Cardiac output estimations by the acetylene method were made following the Grollman procedure. The final computation applied the correction given by Chapman and associates (4)-so that the absolute values are in harmony with those obtained from the direct Fick (catheter) method.
Cardiac output estimations by the ballistocardiographic method employed the low-frequency, critically damped apparatus described by Nickerson and Curtis (5). The computational methodwas that of Nickerson, Warren and Brannon (6); this has also been calibrated against the catheter method. The surface area of all subjects was determinedby the formula of Dubois.
