The Acoustic CardioGraph is a computer based low risk, general wellness, heart stress monitor used to acquire, display, record and save heart sounds. The Heart Stress Monitor records and displays the low frequency component of the heart cycle as a waveform on a PC for the purpose of visualizing the rate, rhythm, and tone of the heart cycle. This can be used to compare current and previous heart cycle waveforms before and after analysis for trending purposes.

Certain types of heart stress can be monitored by visualizing the rate, rhythm and tone of the heart cycle. As a result, the heart’s reaction to certain stressors, i.e. chemical, nutritional and emotional, can be observed using this type of device. The response to informed suggestions can be monitored by observing changes of the frequency, ratio, amplitude and characteristics of the heart’s waveform. Comparison graphs can help determine the effectiveness of actions taken to improve the quality of life.
