Introduction
The most common reason for hospitalization in those over 65 is heart failure (HF). Finding non-invasive ways to identify HF might help stop the HF pandemic. Recently, seismocardiography — a technique that monitors cardiac vibrations conveyed to the
chest wall—has become a potential tool for the detection of heart failure.
Results
Smartphone-based assessment of cardiac function using seismocardiography is feasible and differentiates patients with HF from control subjects with high diagnostic accuracy.
