          Abstract

          El presente trabajo muestra el desarrollo de un sistema basado en acelerometría, para la captación y análisis en Matlab, de señales precordiales usando sismocardiografía (SCG). La SCG es un método eficaz para captar las señales en el área precordial de forma no invasiva. El proyecto se dividió en tres fases: la primera tuvo de objeto la selección del acelerómetro, la tarjeta de adquisición de datos (DAQ) y la interfaz de comunicación entre el acelerómetro y el DAQ; la fase 2 incluye la digitalización de la señal, y por último la tercera fase llevó a cabo el tratamiento digital de la señal SCG para su correcta visualización además de la detección los eventos cardíacos. Se tomaron las vibraciones precordiales usando un sensor inercial (acelerómetro) con un rango de medición de ± 1.5 g, luego se digitalizó la señal análoga por medio del DAQ (Arduino Uno) para ser enviada al entorno de Matlab, encargado de procesar con filtros digitales pasa banda, eliminación de picos, smoothing (suavizado) y eliminación de tendencias no lineales. De las pruebas realizadas, el sismocardiógrafo como dispositivo biomédico para medir la actividad cardíaca, se presenta como una gran opción en la detección de anomalías de forma prematura, como también en la ayuda de terapias de resincronización cardíaca, problemas coronarios y afecciones crónicas del corazón, entre otros. En las mediciones de prueba se demostró la capacidad del sistema para identificar información cardiovascular correspondiente a 9 eventos cardíacos.

          This paper presents the development of an accelerometer based system that captures and analyzes Matlab cardiac signals using Seismocardiography (SCG). SCG is an effective non-invasive method of signaling detection in the chest. The project was divided into three phases; the first one was the selection of an accelerometer, data acquisition system (DAQ) and the communication interface. The second one included the digitalization of the biosignal, and finally, the third phase taking place on the SCG digital processing (DSP) for detection of cardiac events. Precordial vibrations were taken using an inertial sensor with a measuring range of ± 1.5g, we continued to digitize the analog signal through the DAQ and the next sent to the Matlab environment for processing with digital filters, bandpass, peak reduction, smoothing and elimination of non-linear trends. In the tests, the SCG system functions as biomedical device that measures the heart's activity and it is presented as a great option for the detection of early abnormalities, as well as helping in resynchronization therapies and chronic heart problems. The test measurements show the capacity to identify nine different cardiac events.

          Effects of gender and posture on thoraco-abdominal kinematics during quiet breathing in healthy adults.

          To investigate the effects of posture and gender on thoraco-abdominal motion and breathing pattern, 34 healthy men and women were studied by Opto-Electronic Plethysmography during quiet breathing in five different postures from seated (with and without back support) to supine position. Chest wall kinematics and breathing pattern were significantly influenced by position and gender. The progressively increased inclination of the trunk determined a progressive reduction of rib cage displacement, tidal volume, and minute ventilation and a progressive increase of abdominal contribution to tidal volume. Female subjects were characterized by smaller dimensions of the rib cage compartment and during quiet breathing by lower tidal volume, minute ventilation and abdominal contribution to tidal volume than males. The effect of posture on abdominal kinematics was significant only in women. The presence of a back support in seated position determined differences in breathing pattern. In conclusion, posture and gender have a strong influence on breathing and on chest wall kinematics. Copyright 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

            Seismocardiography for monitoring changes in left ventricular function during ischemia.

            Seismocardiography is a new noninvasive technique for recording cardiac vibrations. Changes in the recorded waves have been correlated with acute and chronic changes in left ventricular function. In this report, we describe a patient who developed ischemia induced by coronary angiography in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The patient's seismocardiogram showed distinct changes during the ischemic episode that actually preceded the onset of symptoms and resolved after nitroglycerin therapy. The patient's seismocardiographic recordings were significantly different from the recordings from five control individuals. This observation suggests that seismocardiography may be helpful for monitoring left ventricular function during episodes of myocardial ischemia.

              The global epidemiology of heart failure.

              Heart failure (HF) has become a major clinical and public health challenge. The high prevalence of hypertension and atherosclerotic disease in aging patients relates to this epidemic, as does the ever increasing problem of obesity and diabetes. Early identification of patients at risk for HF and asymptomatic patients with structural heart disease is critical if the human morbidity and mortality toll and the economic burden that HF causes is to be decreased.
