Dr. Jeffrey Gladden describes how the heart's twisting motion during contraction creates a piston-like up-and-down movement of the trachea and sternal notch. An accelerometer placed on the sternal notch can detect this signal, which is stronger in men because their sternal notch ossifies more extensively than in women's.
The last company I had invented, I had discovered a very novel cardiology phenomena. And what I discovered was that when the. When the heart does its cycle, it actually. What it does, the isovolemic contraction. Right when it. Right when all the valves are loaded up and ready to eject, what it does, it twists for a fraction of a second, and. And it bumps the trachea up and down just like a piston. Interesting. So what I did is I put a accelerometer right here on the sternal notch of the. Of the, you know, Adam's apple. It's better for men than it is women because it ossifies more men than they do women. And so I can actually get the piston to tell me. Exactly. Just like when you. When you push a. Pound your fist on a table, somebody can feel it on the other side.
