Popis: BackgroundHeart failure (HF) remains a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and poor quality of life. 44% of HF patients present impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Kinocardiography (KCG) technology combines ballistocardiography (BCG) and seismocardiography (SCG). It estimates myocardial contraction and blood flow through the cardiac chambers and major vessels through a wearable device. Kino-HF sought to evaluate the potential of KCG to distinguish HF patients with impaired LVEF from a control group.MethodsSuccessive patients with HF and impaired LVEF (iLVEF group) were matched and compared to patients with normal LVEF ≥ 50% (control). A 60 s KCG acquisition followed cardiac ultrasound. The kinetic energy from KCG signals was computed in different phases of the cardiac cycle (iKsystolic;ΔiKdiastolic) as markers of cardiac mechanical function.ResultsThirty HF patients (67 [59; 71] years, 87% male) were matched with 30 controls (64.5 [49; 73] years, 87% male). SCG ΔiKdiastolic, BCG iKsystolic, BCG ΔiKdiastolic were lower in HF than controls (p
