Radar mechanocardiography: A novel analysis of the mechanical behavior of the heart

In this paper a novel system for detection of the mechanical movement of heart, mechanocardiography (MCG), with no connection to the subject's body is presented. This signal is based on radar technology. The acquired signal is highly correlated to the acceleration-based ballistocardiograph sign...

Zusammenfassung:	In this paper a novel system for detection of the mechanical movement of heart, mechanocardiography (MCG), with no connection to the subject's body is presented. This signal is based on radar technology. The acquired signal is highly correlated to the acceleration-based ballistocardiograph signal (BCG) recorded directly from the sternum. It is shown that the heart and breathing rates can be reliably detected using this system.
