May identify nicotine-susceptible smokers via ballistocardiography; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does cigarette smoking alter ballistocardiogram contours in healthy persons and patients with coronary heart disease?
This historical text discusses the rationale for using ballistocardiography to assess individual cardiac susceptibility to the effects of cigarette smoking.
C. B. Henderson (1953) conducted a review in Coronary heart disease. Cigarette smoking was evaluated. Cigarette smoking induces abnormal ballistocardiogram changes in some healthy individuals and patients with coronary heart disease, reflecting variable susceptibility to nicotine.
