The precordial mechanical vibrations generated by cardiac contractions have a rich
frequency spectrum. While the lowest frequencies can be palpated, the higher infrasonic …

Seismocardiography (SCG), a method for measuring heart-induced chest vibrations, is
gaining attention as a non-invasive, accessible, and cost-effective approach for cardiac …

Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in the usage of ballistocardiography (BCG) and
seismocardiography (SCG) to record myocardial function both in normal and pathological …

Hypovolemia remains the leading cause of preventable death in trauma cases. Recent
research has demonstrated that using noninvasive continuous waveforms rather than …

Cardiac mechanical activity leads to periodic changes in the distribution of blood throughout
the body, which causes micro-oscillations of the body's center of mass and can be measured …

Aims The kinocardiograph (KCG) is an unobtrusive device, consisting of a chest sensor,
which records local thoracic vibrations produced in result of cardiac contraction and ejection …

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) …

Aims To improve telemonitoring strategies in heart failure patients, there is a need for novel
non‐obtrusive sensors that monitor parameters closely related to intracardiac filling …

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a non-invasive method to assess cardiac activity by detecting
body recoil in response to heart contractions and blood flow. Traditionally, BCG technology …

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 …
