Dynamic gravity compensation does not increase detection of myocardial ischemia in combined accelerometer and gyro sensor measurements

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that miniaturised accelerometers can be used to monitor cardiac function and automatically detect ischemic events. However, accelerometers cannot differentiate between acceleration due to motion and acceleration due to gravity. Gravity filtering is essential for accurate integration of acceleration to yield velocity and displacement. Heart motion is cyclic and mean acceleration over time is zero. Thus, static gravity filtering is performed by subtracting mean acceleration. However, the heart rotates during the cycle, the gravity component is therefore not constant, resulting in overestimation of motion by static filtering. Accurate motion can be calculated using dynamic gravity filtering by a combined gyro and accelerometer. In an animal model, we investigated whether increased accuracy using dynamic filtering, compared to using static filtering, would enhance the ability to detect ischemia. Additionally, we investigated how well the gyro alone could detect ischemia based on the heart's rotation. Dynamic filtering tended towards lower sensitivity and specificity, using receiver operating characteristics analysis, for ischemia-detection compared to static filtering (area under the curve (AUC): 0.83 vs...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
