Conditions

Patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (ICD-10: I25)

Interventions

Group 1: Observational group: Cardiac patients – SEISMAX group Description:?Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing routine cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are additionally examined u
total time per session is approximately 10–15 minutes. CPET is performed as per clinical routine with continuous ECG and blood pressure monitoring under medical supervision. Participation is voluntary

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Written, dated and signed informed consent obtained after proper information has been provided Diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) Preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF = 50%) Clinically stable health status Planned routine spiroergometry at the Sport Cardiology Clinic Cologne (Dr. med. Jürgen Fritsch)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Acute cardiac events (e.g., myocardial infarction within the last 6 weeks) Atrial fibrillation Mechanical heart valve replacement Heart failure (HFrEF, HFmrEF, HFpEF) Implanted medical devices (e.g., pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [ICD] with pacemaker function) — participation only with individual physician approval Heart surgery = 3 months prior to study participation Skin conditions or scars in the sternum area that could interfere with sensor placement Severe comorbidities potentially affecting the cardiovascular system Language or cognitive impairments preventing adequate information and participation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Agreement between VO2max values estimated by seismocardiography and those directly measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in cardiac patients.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
* Assessment of the influence of demographic and clinical characteristics (e.g., age, sex, body weight) on the accuracy of VO2max estimation by seismocardiography (SCG). * Analysis of the correlation between SCG-derived VO2max and ventilatory thresholds (e.g., anaerobic threshold). * Evaluation of the practicability and acceptance of SCG measurement in routine clinical settings.
