Mechanical deconditioning of the heart due to long-term bed rest as observed on seismocardiogram morphology
This study shows how prolonged bed rest weakens the heart and stiffens arteries, using chest vibrations measured by SCG. It suggests SCG could help monitor heart health in space and hospitals with simple wearable devices.
Detecting Coronary Artery Disease Using Rest Seismocardiography and Gyrocardiography
This study shows that chest vibrations measured by a wearable sensor can detect heart disease with high accuracy, offering a potential at-home screening tool for coronary artery disease.
Comparison of Different Methods for Estimating Cardiac Timings: A Comprehensive Multimodal Echocardiography Investigation
This study shows that chest vibrations (SCG) can measure heart function more accurately than traditional methods, paving the way for wearable heart monitors.
Identifying Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Using Rest and Exercise Seismocardiography
This study shows that heart vibrations measured during rest and exercise can detect coronary artery disease as accurately as advanced imaging tests, offering a cheaper and faster alternative for diagnosis.
Determining the Respiratory State From a Seismocardiographic Signal--A Machine Learning Approach
This study shows that chest vibrations from the heart (SCG signals) can predict breathing patterns using advanced machine learning, with neural networks being the most accurate method. This could help monitor breathing and heart health more easily and affordably.
Challenges in Using Seismocardiography for Blood Pressure Monitoring
This study explored using heart vibrations and pulse signals to estimate blood pressure but found inconsistent results, showing the method needs improvement before clinical use.
Accurate and consistent automatic seismocardiogram annotation without concurrent ECG
This study developed a method to analyze heart vibrations without needing ECG data, showing promise for affordable and standalone heart monitoring devices.
A 3D model of the thorax for seismocardiography
This study creates a 3D model of the chest to better understand heart vibrations, helping doctors use SCG for heart health monitoring.
Estimating Cardiac Stroke Volume from the Seismocardiogram Signal
This study shows that heart vibrations measured on the chest (SCG) can estimate the amount of blood pumped by the heart (stroke volume) almost as accurately as ultrasound methods, using machine learning techniques.
