Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et des appareils pour obtenir des données cardiaques, qui incluent l'acquisition de données de champ vibratoire cardiaque à partir d'un transducteur où le transducteur mesure la vibration sur une surface d'un corps humain. Un événement coronaire indésirable est séparé des données cardiaques vibratoires. Un événement transitoire est extrait des données cardiaques vibratoires du cycle cardiaque. L'événement transitoire apparaît durant un intervalle diastolique dans un cycle cardiaque. L'événement transitoire est évalué pour un état de turbulence de flux sanguin d'artère coronaire et un état de santé d'une artère coronaire est évalué à partir d'une caractéristique dans une estimation du spectre de puissance fréquentiel vibratoire.
