Ballistocardiography Seismic

Ballistocardiography is a method for diagnosing the cardiovascular system, which allows you to determine the functioning of the heart and its valves. This method is used to diagnose various heart diseases, such as coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart valve defects and others.

Seismic ballistocardiography (syn. seismocardiography) is a new diagnostic method that uses seismic waves to measure the work of the heart. This method is based on the fact that the heart creates vibrations in the chest, which are transmitted to and reflected from the bones, creating seismic waves. These waves are recorded by special sensors that are located on the patient’s skin.

Using seismic ballistocardiography, you can determine the heart rate, the time it takes for the ventricles of the heart to fill with blood, and also evaluate the function of the heart valves. This method is especially useful for diagnosing arrhythmias and heart valve defects, as it provides more accurate information about the heart than conventional ballistocardiography.

However, like any other diagnostic method, seismic ballistocardiography has its limitations. For example, this method cannot be used to diagnose diseases of the lungs or other organs, or to evaluate kidney or liver function. In addition, to conduct seismic ballistocardiography, special equipment and qualified specialists are required.

In general, seismic ballistocardiography is a promising method for diagnosing cardiovascular diseases, which can significantly improve the quality of diagnosis and help doctors more accurately determine the cause of the disease.

**Seismic ballistocardiology** is a method for diagnosing disorders of the heart and blood vessels using seismoacoustic research methods. It is used mainly for the early detection of latent heart failure against the background of various cardiovascular diseases.
