Ages 18 to 120 · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Male or Female aged18 years or older. * Patients scheduled to undergo an echocardiogram at Tulane Medical Center.

About the study
The investigators are aiming to investigate the association between ejection fraction (EF) determined by echocardiography and signals obtained from Photoplethysmography (PPG) in the general population. The investigators are also aiming to investigate the association between blood pressure and signals obtained from PPG in the general population.
Finally, the investigators are also aiming to investigate the association between signals obtained from PPG in the general population to cardioechographic findings such as, valvular heart disease, structural heart diseases, cardiomyopathies, pericardial disease etc.
