Abstract:Currently, the available technologies that are capable of monitoring pulse wave velocity (PWV) in a patient are uncomfortable and obstructive. Recently, it has been hypothesized the use of photoplethysmographic (PPG) for this purpose and, therefore, the need to capture and understand the hemodynamic variables used in the PPG signal acquirement process, such as the local pulse transit time (PTT) and local PWV. This work aims to verify the feasibility of the PPG technique in the construction of local PTT and PWV… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
