Abstract:
An algorithm based on the combination of electrocardiography (ECG) and seismocardiogranphy (SCG) is used to detect the start and the end of diastole in diastolic timed vibrations (DTV). The proposed algorithm uses the ECG-R wave as the reference point and detects the aortic valve closure (AC) and mitral valve closure (MC) points of the SCG signal. This algorithm enables DTV to operate very efficiently in comparison with previous ECG based algorithm. Prediction rate of 95 and 88 percent was achieved for detection of SCG-MC and SCG-AC respectively.
