Summary

Ballistocardiography applied to patients with patent ductus arteriosus or atrial septal defect showed an increased IJ wave in cases where the left systolic volume was increased, an effect which was independent of the right ventricular output. It is concluded that it is the activity of the left ventricle which is of principal importance in the genesis of the IJ wave.
