摘要: Cardiac related changes in the electrical conductivity distribution of thorax were recorded real-time with an electromagnetic sensor consisting a 3.5 cm radius coil, 4 MHz oscillator and active RF voltmeter. Operation is based on measuring amplitude marginal oscillator, caused by eddy current losses heart region. Signals from 6 normal subjects multiple sessions (1 hour to 1 month) showed good repeatability. The average SNR for signals coil placed over sternum was 34 dB. A possible application this type non-invasive continuous assessment left ventricular ejection fraction.
