However, when performing rehabilitation for the purpose of returning to society, jogging for the purpose of promoting health, exercises such as marathon and golf, and sports training, the heart function and body condition of the subject are accurately recognized. For this reason, it is not enough to simply measure the heart rate, and exercise exceeding the cardiac reserve may lead to accidents such as sudden death.Therefore, it is possible to monitor the cardiac reserve by measuring the cardiac reserve. It becomes important.

The cardiac reserve cannot be recognized only by measuring the heart rate, and it is necessary to measure the cardiac reserve during exercise or the like in order to monitor the cardiac reserve. Therefore, it is impossible to measure the cardiac reserve and monitor the cardiac reserve with a device that simply measures the heart rate, such as the one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-293089.

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of physiological theory, the heart intermittently sends blood to the blood vessel, and the stroke volume of this blood creates a continuous pulse wave due to the elasticity of the blood vessel. The shape of the pulse wave not only corresponds to the pulse rate (heart rate),
It is divided into phases corresponding to the systole and diastole of the heart. Therefore, the pulse wave shape includes not only physical property information of blood vessels but also heart function information such as heart rate, systolic force, and cardiac output.

Up to now, the pulse wave shape of the living body has been measured as a volume pulse wave and a pressure pulse wave by the sensing method.
Among the measurement of the volume pulse wave, the pulse wave measurement of the fingertip volume pulse wave,
The volume change of the detected part is measured by a photoelectric conversion element. The fingertip volume pulse wave can continuously measure the pulse wave, but there is a drawback that there is little cardiac function information due to the pressure pulse wave of the arterioles. Especially, if there is arteriosclerosis on the central side of the measurement site. The measured information cannot accurately measure even the pulse rate.

On the other hand, the pressure pulse wave is photoelectric conversion, air pressure conversion,
Although pulse waves of arterioles and arterioles can be measured by a method such as AC resistance conversion, there is nothing that can be used for measurement during operation over a long time because the device is lightweight. Also, in non-invasive measurement of intravascular arterial pressure pulse wave, many use Korotov's sound, but this is often used for continuous measurement for a long time because the cuff is pressurized by a compressor intermittently. There are technical difficulties.
Similarly, the invasive measurement that is performed in the clinical setting is also performed by the insertion and monitoring of the catheter by the doctor.
It is more difficult to use for continuous measurement for a long time.

The sensor section 6 is a section for non-invasively and continuously measuring the measurement value caused by the displacement of the blood vessel wall, and it is possible to use a piezoelectric vibration conversion element or the like. It uses a conversion element. The sensor unit 6 including the ultrasonic conversion element irradiates the superficial blood vessel wall with ultrasonic waves and measures the Doppler shift frequencies of the transmitted ultrasonic waves and the reflected waves based on the ultrasonic Doppler method. The transmitted ultrasonic wave is measured by irradiating it perpendicularly to the superficial blood vessel wall in order to ensure the accuracy of the value, but the present invention also includes a method capable of accurate measurement other than irradiating it vertically. In addition, the use of ultrasonic transducers in the sensor unit saves the amount of electricity used, and by using ultrasonic waves, not only superficial blood vessels but also blood vessels in deep body regions can be measured. Since it is possible to increase the number, it is also suitable for this reason.

Here, the double product is an index of cardiac function by the amount represented by heart rate × maximal blood pressure, and the double product equivalent amount in the present invention is obtained by multiplying the displacement corresponding to the maximum blood pressure by the heart rate. It is what you want. Since the pressure pulse waveform in this embodiment is obtained as a displacement curve, the systolic blood pressure (maximum blood pressure) and the part corresponding to the diastolic blood pressure (minimum blood pressure) become the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the systolic blood pressure. The corresponding displacement amount is shown or calculated. Since the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure both change depending on the blood pressure, the displacement amount also changes. For example, the systolic maximum displacement amount corresponding to the systolic blood pressure in one minute or the systolic peak displacement amount of the blood vessel wall. The mean value of, or the median value of the systolic peak displacement amount of the blood vessel wall is equivalent to the systolic blood pressure value,
By replacing this with systolic blood pressure value and multiplying it by the heart rate, it is possible to approximately recognize the cardiac reserve and the cardiac function reserve. For this reason, the double product equivalent amount corresponding to the predetermined heart rate is determined. It is what you want.

Further, regarding the systole, processing parameter values capable of recognizing the state of cardiac reserve which can be obtained based on the blood vessel wall displacement curve include, in addition to the double product equivalent amount, the total systolic displacement and the rise differential of the systole.

Further, regarding the diastole, the processing parameter value that can be obtained based on the blood vessel wall displacement amount curve and can recognize the state of the cardiac reserve is, for example, the total diastolic displacement amount. The total diastolic displacement in the total diastolic time approximately correlates with the coronary blood flow because the coronary blood flow flows during the diastole, and the change in the total diastolic displacement approximately correlates with the change in the coronary blood flow. Therefore, the total diastolic displacement is an important index for judging the cardiac reserve and the cardiac function reserve.

In the present embodiment, both the double product equivalent amount and the total diastolic displacement are obtained in order to increase the accuracy of recognition of the cardiac reserve and the cardiac function reserve. The diastolic displacement total amount is, for example, an average value obtained by adding the diastolic displacement total amounts of all the diastolic period times in one minute, and dividing the sum by the heartbeat rate in the one minute, or the heartbeat in the one minute. The median value of the numbers, or the maximum total diastolic displacement in the heart rate per minute is used. Note that other processing parameter values can be used as appropriate, for example, two combinations of double product equivalent and total diastolic displacement, or two combinations of total diastolic displacement and total systolic displacement. It is also possible to determine the cardiac reserve by using any one of the double product equivalent amount, the systolic displacement total amount, or the diastolic displacement amount.

Although the reference value and the fluctuation range of the index such as the double product equivalent amount, the total diastolic displacement amount, or the total systolic displacement amount vary depending on the individual, the value before the start of the exercise load is determined from the result of theoretical numerical analysis. Based on the standard, it initially increases with an increase in heart rate due to the addition of exercise, then reaches a plateau when the heart rate further increases, and then tends to decrease. The double product equivalent and the total systolic displacement tend to increase within the corresponding range of cardiac reserve and decrease outside the corresponding range. Becomes Moreover, the timing when the total diastolic displacement also tends to decrease from the plateau is a guide for determining the corresponding range of cardiac reserve. The tendency of the change is the same not only in healthy individuals but also in people with cardiac dysfunction.
