  Objective: The prevalence of cardiac disease continues to burden patients and the health care economy. Over the past 30 years novel therapies, medications, and imaging technologies have extended life spans and wearable monitoring devices have led to improved care and outcomes. However, there is a technological gap regarding noninvasive monitoring of cardiac mechanical function. Materials and methods: In a feasibility study, we evaluated a novel algorithm to assess the systolic and diastolic function in five normal subjects. We used a monitor developed in-house that simultaneously digitally recorded a one-lead Electrocardiogram, a Z-axis seismocardiogram, and a precordial phonocardiogram. We processed these data streams using a novel algorithm (ALG) (US patent 7054679B2). Result: Five subjects completed a str.. View More»
