Combination of electro / impedance / seismo / phono cardiography in medicine

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of the death worldwide. They are followed by the third most common cause and that is respiratory disease. Therefore, new methodologies such as seismocardiography (SCG), impedance cardiography (ICG) and phonocardiography (PCG) are beginning to appear [1]. Main goal of this article is to present a concept of a device for simultaneous measurement of electro, impedance, seismic and phono (EISP) cardiography and its application in the diagnosis of heart and respiration activity.
