Heartbeat Cycle Length Detection by a Ballistocardiographic Sensor in Atrial Fibrillation and Sinus Rhythm

<div>Heartbeat measurement by a BCG foil: (a) the BCG sensor foil is positioned under the chest of the patient in a supine position; (b) mechanical contraction of the heart induces impedance change on the BCG sensor foil; (c) a BCG (blue signal) related signal is calculated and synchronized to an ECG (black signal).</div>
