The physiological processes and mechanisms of an arterial system are complex and subtle.
Physics-based models have been proven to be a very useful tool to simulate actual …

Background and objective Central aortic blood pressure waveforms convey imperative
information about cardiovascular risk, but these measurements are obtained invasively. The …

A useful model of the arterial system is the uniform, lossless tube with parametric load. This
tube-load model is able to account for wave propagation and reflection (unlike lumped …

Central aortic blood pressure (CBP) is increasingly considered a better cardiovascular
prognostic marker than conventional cuff brachial blood pressure. Because CBP cannot be …

Generalized transfer functions (GTFs) are available to compute the more relevant central
blood pressure (BP) waveform from a more easily measured radial BP waveform. However …

Goal: We introduce a novel approach to estimate cardiac output (CO) and central systolic
blood pressure (cSBP) from noninvasive measurements of peripheral cuff-pressure and …

Arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity, for the early non-invasive screening
of cardiovascular disease is becoming ever more widely used and is an independent …

Aortic blood pressure is a vital signal that provides valuable medical information about
cardiovascular health condition. Noninvasive measurement of this signal is very …

Several studies suggest that central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP) is a better marker of
cardiovascular disease risk than peripheral blood pressure (pBP). The morphology of the …

This paper presents a new approach to the estimation of unknown central aortic blood
pressure waveform from a directly measured peripheral blood pressure waveform, in which …
