Cardiac Linear and Torsional Contractility Measurements With a New Technology: Multi Dimensional Kineticardiography

Erasme University Hospital34 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to validate the possibility to track cardiac contractility changes with a new technology called 'Heart Kinetic' (HK). HK measurements will be realized and compared echocardiography.

Interventions

Cardiac contractility assessments with Kino-cardiographDEVICE

Cardiac contractility will be assessed with Kino-cardiograph device. Echocardiography will also be used for the experimental arm

Cardiac assessment repeatability with Kino-cardiographDEVICE

Cardiac contractility will be assessed with Kino-cardiograph device only, at different times of the day to assess the repeatability of the measures.
