A new apexcardiographic recording system has been developed which is free of certain technical limitations. This noncontact magnetic transducer was tested alternately with a commonly used pneumatic piezoelectric transducer in a comparative study on ten normal subjects. The magnetic registration offered a more accurate timing and configuration of the ACG. Signal distortion, such as peaked waves and an early fall of the systolic wave, was eliminated. The magnetic transducer was capable of recording directional apex point tracings, as well as pulsations of a larger apical area. The new system proved to possess definite advantages and eliminated some of the inconveniences inherent in the pneumatically coupled system.

D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
