Photoplethysmography Analysis of Artery Properties in Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases
2008
In this study arterial parameters of healthy subjects were compared to those of patients with cardiovascular diseases. The photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements of blood volume pulsations have been performed. Using a novel algorithm for analysis of simultaneously measured ear and finger PPG signals, arterial parameters were evaluated in representative groups of healthy subjects and patients with cardiovascular diseases. Digital volume pulse (DVP), pulse cycle duration (T), augmentation index (AIx), reflection index (RI) and transit time of reflected wave (RTT) were evaluated in every heartbeat cycle. Correlations between the AIx and RI, T and RTT, AIx and standard deviation of AIx, RTT an…
