A comparison of continuous wave Doppler radar to impedance cardiography for analysis of mechanical heart activity.
The paper compares the data obtained from a continuous wave Doppler radar sensor based on a commercially available microwave motion sensor KMY24 to an impedance cardiograph measured using a Cardiac Output Monitor (Medis Niccomo). Both sensors are used to analyze the mechanical activity of the heart. System parameters, signal content and robustness are discussed.
