Abstract

The purpose of this work is to define fiducial points in the seismocardiogram (SCG) and to correlate them with physiological events identified in ultrasound images. For 45 healthy subjects the SCG and the electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded simultaneously at rest. Immediately following the SCG and ECG recordings ultrasound images of the heart were also obtained at rest. For all subjects a mean SCG signal was calculated and all fiducial points (peaks and valleys) were identified and labeled in the same way across all signals. Eight physiologic events, including the valve openings and closings, were annotated from ultrasound as well and the fiducial points were correlated with those physiologic events. A total of 42 SCG signals were used in the data analysis. The smallest mean differences (±SD) between the eight events found in the ultrasound images and the fiducial points, together with their correlation coefficients (r) were: atrial systolic onset: −2 (±16) ms, r = 0.75 (p < 0.001); peak atrial inflow: 13 (±19) ms, r = 0.63 (p < 0.001); mitral valve closure: 4 (±11) ms, r = 0.71 (p < 0.01); aortic valve opening: −3 (±11) ms, r = 0.60 (p < 0.001); peak systolic outflow: 13 (±23) ms, r = 0.42 (p < 0.01); aortic valve closure: −5 (±12) ms, r = 0.94 (p < 0.001); mitral valve opening: −7 (±19) ms, r = 0.87 (p < 0.001) and peak early ventricular filling: −18 (±28 ms), r = 0.79 (p < 0.001). In conclusion eight physiologic events characterizeing the cardiac cycle, are associated with reproducible, well-defined fiducial points in the SCG.

Figure 4 Overall mean electrocardiogram and seismocardiogram signal from 34 subjects. The circles indicate the mean location of the following physiologic events found in ultrasound images, from left: Atrial systole (AS), peak atrial inflow (PAI), mitral valve closure (MC), aortic valve opening (AO), peak systolic inflow (PSI), aortic valve closing (AC), mitral valve opening (MO), early ventricular filling (EVF). The grey areas indicate the 95% confidence intervals of the means for the physiologic events found in the ultrasound images.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
