ICD-measured heart sounds and their correlation with echocardiographic indexes of systolic and diastolic function

Novel implantable defibrillators (ICDs) allow first (S1) and third (S3) heart sounds to be measured by means of an embedded accelerometer. ICD-measured S1 and S3 have been shown to significantly correlate with...
