Abstract:Introduction: The formation and propagation of pulse waves are mainly accomplished by coordinating the heart and the vascular system. The contraction and relaxation of the heart are the sources of pulse waves. The aorta vibrates regularly as the heart contracts. This vibration propagates forward along the elastic blood vessel to form a pulse wave. The pulse wave contains very rich physiological and pathological information about the cardiovascular system. If there is a problem with the heart's structure, it ca… Show more
