- How to Read a Study Record
The ballistocardiography (BCG) and the seismocardiography (SCG) are old techniques recording the vibrations at the skin level generated by the acceleration and displacement of the blood and cardiac mass at each cardiac contraction. The former records the acceleration near the subject's center of mass, the latter at the local chest wall. So far, the unclear physiological origin of those acceleration signals has led to important ambiguities in their scientific and clinical interpretation. Therefore, several ongoing studies would aim to highlight the physiological genesis of those acceleration-induced signals.
Indeed, the main objective of this study is to correlate the BCG and SCG signals recorded at the body surface with several haemodynamic parameters recorded invasively during a cardiac catheterisation, pulmonary pressure, wedge pressure, cardiac output to cite a few.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Heart Failure Pulmonary Hypertension | Device: Ballistocardiography and seismocardiography |
Patients suffering from severe heart failure regardless of the etiology will undergo a cardiac catheterization as required by their medical condition.
The SCG and BCG signals will be recorded simultaneously to the catheterization by the mean of an unintrusive and friendly device consisting of two houses, the first one placed on sternum and the second one in the lumbar column. The device will record a continuous tracing synchronized with the intracavitary pressure profiles recorded during the invasive procedure.

Heart failure
Patients suffering from heart failure regardless to the etiology will undergo cardiac catheterization according to their medical condition. the SCG and BCG signals will be recorded along with the intracavitary pressure profiles detected invasively with the cardiac catheterization.

Device: Ballistocardiography and seismocardiography
SCG and BCG signals will be recorded by the mean of an unobtrusive and friendly device consisting of two houses, the first one placed on the sternum and the second one place on the lumbar region near the subject's center of mass. The signal will be transferred to a tablet by Bluetooth and tracings will be analysed automatically with Matlab. The SCG+BCG signals are synchronized to the intracardiac pressure tracings in order to allow a comparative interpretation between the two tracings. |

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Probability Sample |
Patients suffering from heart failure and undergoing a planned cardiac catheterization as required by their medical condition will be asked to participate to the study.
The inclusion criteria include heart failure regardless of its etiology. Patients with a left ventricle assistance device will not be enrolled because the high-frequency accelerations generated by the mechanical device and transmitted to the skin level will likely hamper the ballisto- and seismocardiographic signal.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age 18 y.o. to 80 y.o.
- Heart failure
Exclusion Criteria:
- Left ventricle assistance device
- Refused participation
