Abstract

The ECG response of a human body exposed to vertical vibrations was investigated. The per cent normalized difference (PND) between the R-wave amplitude before and after vibrations was monitored. Results obtained from a representative subject show an oscillatory decay of the PND behaviour with time. This behaviour can be modelled as a linear second order damped system. The natural frequency, damping ratio and the recovery time of the cardiac system can be measured.
