Ballistocardiography is a technique for producing a graphical representation of repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection of blood into the great vessels with each heart beat. [4]

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a noninvasive technique for creating a graphical representation of the heartbeat-induced repeated motions of the human body.

Ballistocardiography is a non-invasive method based on the measurement of the body motion generated by the ejection of the blood at each cardiac cycle.

2016年8月9日 · For more than a century, it has been known that the body recoils each time the heart ejects blood into the arteries. These subtle cardiogenic body movements have been measured with increasingly...

ballistocardiography, graphic recording of the stroke volume of the heart for the purpose of calculating cardiac output. The heartbeat results in motion of the body, which in turn causes movements in a suspended supporting structure, usually a special table or bed on which the subject is lying, and these movements are recorded photographically ...

Ballistocardiography is an accurate indicator of the heart’s age, much better than the chronological age of a person. Furthermore, diseases related to heart contractility are also correctly prognosticated by this signal, long before any symptom manifests.

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a non-invasive technology that has been used to record ultra-low-frequency vibrations of the heart allowing for the measurement of cardiac cycle events including timing and amplitudes of contraction.

Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is the measure of forces of the body in reaction to blood ejection from heart to arteries. Since the ventricle applies a force to the blood to pull it into the aorta, for the action-reaction principle of the dynamics, an equal force is applied to the cardiac muscle.

A technique for producing a graphical representation of repetitive motions of the body evoked by the mechanical ejection of blood from the ventricles into the great vessels with each heart beat. It is a vital sign in the 1–20-Hz frequency range and can be recorded by noninvasive methods on the skin surface.

Due to recent technological improvements, namely in the field of piezoelectric sensors, ballistocardiography - an almost forgotten physiological measurement - is now being object of a renewed scientific interest.Transcending the initial purposes of its development, ballistocardiography has revealed …
