1. A system, characterized by including comprising:
- a gyroscope configured to obtain on a chest of a subject and using Coriolis effect an angular ballistocardiograph signal indicative of rotational recoil movement on the chest of the subject in response to cardiovascular rotation within the chest of the subject; and
a signal processor configured to generate from the angular ballistocardiograph signal measured values of an output parameter indicative of cardiac operation of the subject.

Abstract
A device that includes a sensor of angular motion configured to obtain an angular ballistograph signal indicative of rotational movement of a chest of a subject. Signal processing means are configured to generate from this angular ballistocardiograph signal measured values of an output parameter, which is indicative of cardiac operation of the subject.
