Abstract

Seismocardiogram (SCG) or mechanocardiography is a noninvasive cardiac diagnostic method; however, previous studies used only a single sensor to detect cardiac mechanical activities that will not be able to identify location-specific feature points in a cardiac cycle corresponding to the four valvular auscultation locations. In this study, a multichannel SCG spectrum measurement system was proposed and examined for cardiac activity monitoring to overcome problems like, position dependency, time delay, and signal attenuation, occurring in traditional single-channel SCG systems. ECG and multichannel SCG signals were simultaneously recorded in 25 healthy subjects. Cardiac echocardiography was conducted at the same time. SCG traces were analyzed and compared with echocardiographic images for feature point identification. Fifteen feature points were identified in the corresponding SCG traces. Among them, six feature points, including left ventricular lateral wall contraction peak velocity, septal wall contraction peak velocity, transaortic peak flow, transpulmonary peak flow, transmitral ventricular relaxation flow, and transmitral atrial contraction flow were identified. These new feature points were not observed in previous studies because the single-channel SCG could not detect the location-specific signals from other locations due to time delay and signal attenuation. As the results, the multichannel SCG spectrum measurement system can record the corresponding cardiac mechanical activities with location-specific SCG signals and six new feature points were identified with the system. This new modality may help clinical diagnoses of valvular heart diseases and heart failure in the future.

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.
