Ballistocardiogram Lateral

In this article we will consider such a type of ballistocardiogram as lateral. This technique is a variation of the transverse ballistocardiogram and is used to assess cardiac function.

Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is a technique that is used to measure the mechanical vibrations resulting from contraction of the heart muscle. There are different types of BCG, including transverse and lateral.

BCG lateral is a more accurate method than BCG transverse, as it allows you to more accurately determine the direction of movement of the heart and its position in the chest. This makes it especially useful for research in patients with heart failure and other heart diseases.

To perform BCG lateral, the patient must lie on his back on a special platform that can record even small vibrations. This platform is usually mounted on a special stand that allows it to be moved to different positions.

During the procedure, the platform records the vibrations caused by the contraction of the heart and transmits them to a computer for analysis. Analysis of BCG lateral data allows one to determine a number of parameters, such as the amplitude and duration of oscillations, as well as the direction of heart movement.

BCG lateral can be useful for assessing the effects of medications on cardiac function, as well as for diagnosing heart diseases such as arrhythmia, myocarditis and others.

In conclusion, BCG lateral is an effective method for assessing cardiac function and may be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases. However, like any other method, it should only be used under the supervision of experienced professionals.
