We developed a new technique to mathematically transform a peripheral artery pressure
(PAP) waveform distorted by wave reflections into the physiologically more relevant aortic …

Background: Central blood pressure (BP) better reflects the loading conditions on the major
organs and is more closely correlated with future cardiovascular events. The increased …

This Chapter presents a macro view of the cardiovascular system (CVS) and the
components relevant to this work. First, an introduction to the relevant physiological …

Acute circulatory failure (ACF) is a clinical syndrome when the heart and circulatory
circulation cannot provide adequate blood supply to meet metabolic needs of the organs …

Methods are presented for determining pulse transit time (PTT) and/or pulse wave velocity
(PWV) of a subject by application of parametric system identification to proximal and distal …

This paper presents a method of identifying the model parameters of a validated arterial
transfer function model, to estimate central blood pressure (P ao, est) from femoral pressure …

This paper presents a set of criteria used to identify the parameters describing a tube-load
model of the arterial system to estimate central blood pressure (BP). The criteria are …

We previously proposed a new technique to estimate the physiologically and clinically more
relevant central aortic pressure (AP) waveform from a conveniently and safely measured …

We developed a technique to quantify forward and backward arterial waves by model-based
analysis of aortic and femoral artery pressure waveforms. Thus, in contrast to conventional …

Today, the workhorse in hemodynamic monitoring is the continuous (ie, automated)
measurement and display of blood pressure (BP) waveforms from peripheral arteries. In …
