Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

34 participants in 2 patient groups

repeatability measures

Sham Comparator group

Description:

In this arm, healthy subjects will undergo repeated measures at different times of the day.

Treatment:

Device: Cardiac assessment repeatability with Kino-cardiograph

Contractility changes measures

Experimental group

Description:

In this arm, healthy subjects will have their cardiac contractility increased in a controlled way and assessed with both HK and echocardiography.
