In particular, various parameters such as cardiac time intervals and the stroke volume are modulated by respiratory activity. It has long been recognized that cardio-respiratory interactions modify the morphology of cardio-mechanical signals, e.g., phonocardiogram, seismocardiogram (SCG), and ballistocardiogram. Forcecardiography (FCG) records the weak forces induced on the chest wall by the mechanical activity of the heart and lungs and relies on specific force sensors that are capable of monitoring respiration, infrasonic cardiac vibrations, and heart sounds, all simultaneously from a single site on the chest. This study addressed the changes in FCG heartbeat morphology caused by respiration. Two respiratory-modulated parameters were considered, namely the left ventricular ejection time (LVET) and a morphological similarity index (MSi) between heartbeats. The time trends of these parameters were extracted from FCG signals and further analyzed to evaluate their consistency within the respiratory cycle in order to assess their relationship with the breathing activity. The respiratory acts were localized in the time trends of the LVET and MSi and compared with a reference respiratory signal by computing the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV). In addition, the agreement between the inter-breath intervals estimated from the LVET and MSi and those estimated from the reference respiratory signal was assessed via linear regression and Bland\u2013Altman analyses. The results of this study clearly showed a tight relationship between the respiratory activity and the considered respiratory-modulated parameters. Both the LVET and MSi exhibited cyclic time trends that remarkably matched the reference respiratory signal. In addition, they achieved a very high sensitivity and PPV (LVET: 94.7% and 95.7%, respectively; MSi: 99.3% and 95.3%, respectively). The linear regression analysis reported almost unit slopes for both the LVET (R2 = 0.86) and MSi (R2 = 0.97); the Bland\u2013Altman analysis reported a non-significant bias for both the LVET and MSi as well as limits of agreement of \u00b11.68 s and \u00b10.771 s, respectively. In summary, the results obtained were substantially in line with previous findings on SCG signals, adding to the evidence that FCG and SCG signals share a similar information content.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22239339","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]],"date-time":"2022-11-30T09:18:36Z","timestamp":1669799916000},"page":"9339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Changes in Forcecardiography Heartbeat Morphology Induced by Cardio-Respiratory Interactions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3422-8727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Centracchio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, University of Naples Federico II, Via Claudio 21, 80125 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0716-8431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniele","family":"Esposito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, University of Naples Federico II, Via Claudio 21, 80125 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2616-2804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gaetano D.","family":"Gargiulo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Design and Built Environment, Western Sydney University, Penrith, NSW 2751, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4829-3941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilio","family":"Andreozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, University of Naples Federico II, Via Claudio 21, 80125 Napoli, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S45","DOI":"10.1513\/AnnalsATS.201704-339FR","article-title":"Cardiopulmonary Interactions: Physiologic Basis and Clinical Applications","volume":"15","author":"Pinsky","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ann.
