Ballistocardiogram Displacements

Displacement ballistocardiogram (DBD) is a method used in medical diagnostics to determine the state of the human cardiovascular system. This method is based on measuring the range of body movements caused by heart contractions.

To conduct a study of the BGS, a special device is used - a ballistograph. It consists of two parts: a recorder and a sensor. The recorder records the body movements of the subject, and the sensor measures the amplitude of these movements.

To receive BGS, the subject must lie on his back on a special platform. The platform then begins to move up and down at a certain speed. During the movement, the platform registers the amplitude of the patient’s body movements.

The results of the BGS can help the doctor determine the presence or absence of problems with the heart and blood vessels. For example, if the range of motion of the body is too small or absent, this may indicate the presence of heart failure or other problems.

In addition, GBS can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for cardiovascular diseases. After treatment, the doctor can compare the results of BGS before and after treatment to assess its effectiveness.

Thus, the displacement ballistocardiogram is an important method for diagnosing the cardiovascular system and can help the doctor identify problems at an early stage.

Introduction: Ballistocardiography (BCG) is one of the methods of functional diagnostics of the cardiovascular system. The method is based on the movement of the human body during cardiac activity. The study is carried out in conjunction with ECG and ABPM, which makes it possible to study in detail the autonomic regulation of heart rate, the dynamics of blood pressure and impulse conduction. Analysis of the graphic characteristics of the BCG is carried out to determine the characteristics of the combined pathology of the heart and other organs and systems, including when studying the influence of concomitant diseases or the use of medications. In the absence of disturbances in the activity of the cardiovascular system, as a final conclusion, the study can be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment during dynamic observation.
