Key result
Arteriosclerotic heart failure and older age were associated with increasingly frequent abnormalities in ballistocardiogram patterns compared to youth and uncomplicated heart disease.
Why the study?
Does the Nickerson ballistocardiogram show different patterns in patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease with and without congestive failure compared to normal subjects?
Population
Patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease with and without congestive failure, and normal subjects
Comparison
Nickerson Ballistocardiogram vs Normal subjects (young and old)
Design
Cross-sectional

Ballistocardiogram abnormalities may aid arteriosclerotic HF detection; leaves open incremental diagnostic value in prospective studies.

Does the Nickerson ballistocardiogram show different patterns in patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease with and without congestive failure compared to normal subjects?
The Nickerson ballistocardiogram demonstrates distinct abnormal patterns in patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease and congestive heart failure, which can be transiently modified by diuresis.
Richard J. Jones (1952) conducted an observational in Arteriosclerotic heart disease with and without congestive failure. Arteriosclerotic heart disease and congestive failure vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Ballistocardiogram abnormalities (time relationships of I and J waves, IJ amplitude). Arteriosclerotic heart failure and older age were associated with increasingly frequent abnormalities in ballistocardiogram patterns compared to youth and uncomplicated heart disease.
