In recent years, cardiovascular diseases are on the rise, and they entail enormous health
burdens on global economies. Cardiac vibrations yield a wide and rich spectrum of essential …

Recently, the ever-growing interest in the continuous monitoring of heart function in out-of-
laboratory settings for an early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases has led to the …

The inability to objectively quantify cognitive stress in real-time with wearable devices is a
crucial unsolved problem with serious negative consequences for dementia and mental …

Novel means to minimize treatment delays in patients with ST elevation myocardial
infarction (STEMI) are needed. Using an accelerometer and gyroscope on the chest yield …

The indexes of cardiac mechanics can be derived from the cardiac time intervals, CTIs, ie,
the timings among the opening and closure of the aortic and mitral valves and the Q wave in …

Cardiorespiratory fitness measured as˙ VO 2 max is considered an important variable in the
risk prediction of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Non-exercise˙ VO 2 max …

Objective. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is commonly used to manage heart
failure with dyssynchronous ventricular contraction. CRT pacing resynchronizes the …

Background Heart failure (HF) remains a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and poor
quality of life. 44% of HF patients present impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) …

The findings suggest that MCG waveforms can serve as indicators of improved mechanical
cardiac function during CRT. The use of accelerometers and gyroscopes may contribute to …

Microgravity is a hostile environment for the cardiovascular system. It triggers a cascade of
adaptations that lead to problems on return to gravity. With the relatively low number of …
