Vasovagal syncope state non-invasive diagnosis apparatus, has signal processing and amplifying equipment and microcomputer to find syncope type, according to collected endocardiac acceleration values and heart rate

摘要

The apparatus has an endocardiac acceleration collection unit with an external acceleration sensor (14) to be maintained in contact with the thoracic wall of a patient. A signal processing and amplifying equipment (18) and a microcomputer (20) allows to find a syncope type, as per the endocardiac acceleration values and heart rate collected during a number of cardiac cycles preceding the occurrence of the syncope.
