The increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is reflected in additional costs for healthcare systems all over the world. To date, pulse transit time (PTT) is considered a key index of cardiovascular health status and for diagnosis of CVDs ...

Correlation of arterial blood pressure to synchronous piezo, impedance and photoplethysmographic signal features : Investigating pulse wave features and transit times [PDF]
In this paper we investigate which pulse wave pick-up technologies are well suited for blood pressure trend estimation. We use custom built hardware to acquire electrocardiographic, applanation-tonometric, photo- and impedance-plethysmographic signals ...

Recent research has shown that each apnea episode results in a significant rise in the beat-to-beat blood pressure and by a drop to the pre-episode levels when patient resumes normal breathing. While the physiological implications of these repetitive and

Arterial stiffness measurements in patients using atypical antipsychotics
OBJECTIVE: Patients with serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have a 25- to 30-year shorter life span, and the main reason of increased risks of morbidity and mortality is cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke compared ...

Quantification of vascular function changes under different emotion states: A pilot study [PDF]
Recent studies have indicated that physiological parameters change with different emotion states. This study aimed to quantify the changes of vascular function at different emotion and sub-emotion states.

A Cuffless Blood Pressure Measurement Based on the Impedance Plethysmography Technique
In the last decade, cuffless blood pressure measurement technology has been widely studied because it could be applied to a wearable apparatus. Electrocardiography (ECG), photo-plethysmography (PPG), and phonocardiography are always used to detect the ...

Monte Carlo Analysis of Optical Interactions in Reflectance and Transmittance Finger Photoplethysmography [PDF]
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive photometric technique that measures the volume changes in arterial blood. Recent studies have reported limitations in developing and optimising PPG-based sensing technologies due to unavailability of the ...

Tetravariate point-process model for the continuous characterization of cardiovascular-respiratory dynamics during passive postural changes [PDF]
In this study, we present a new methodology for time-varying characterization of cardiovascular (CV) control, which includes RR interval (RRI), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), respiration (RSP) and pulse transit time (PTT). Within a multivariate model,

Nichtinvasive, indirekte Messung des Blutdruckes mittels Pulswellengeschwindigkeit - Anwendung in der Schlafmedizin [PDF]
Arterielle Hypertonie gehört zu den wichtigsten Risikofaktoren von kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen. Besonders der nächtliche Blutdruck hat einen besonderen Aussagewert bei der Bestimmung des Risikos, an solchen Erkrankungen zu versterben.
