Heart vibration tech could spot aortic disease without scans

This study explores whether kinocardiography (KCG), a portable device that measures chest vibrations from heartbeats, can diagnose aortic valve disease and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Researchers will compare KCG readings with standard imaging in 180 adults, including those with and without these conditions. The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive screening tool that could eventually be used via smartphone.
