A Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of Cardiac Acoustic Biomarkers by the Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the data accuracy of the cardiac acoustic biomarkers (CABs) recorded the FDA-approved LifeVest® Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD). To show accuracy, these data will be compared with CABs data simultaneously recorded by the AUDICOR® AM device, a FDA cleared, acoustic cardiography recorder.
