According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, killing approximately 614,348 people a year (“Leading Causes of Death,” 2016). VCG signals, vibrocardiographic signals, can provide useful clinical information which may lead to develop new diagnostic methods. However, due to the sensitive equipment used to collect accurate results, any amount of outside noise or vibrations will taint the data collected and provide inaccurate results. Thus, the building vibrations and those of the surrounding areas where the VCG signals are being collected can potentially impact the end …
