Effects of acquisition device, sampling rate, and record length on kinocardiography during position-induced haemodynamic changes.

KCG metrics computed on 50 Hz and 1 kHz SCG/BCG signals were very similar. Most of the metrics were highly similar when computed on different sensors, and with less than 5% of error when computed on record length longer than 60 s. These results suggest that KCG may be a robust and non-invasive method to monitor cardiac inotropic activity. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT03107351.
