In the pulse wave propagation velocity measuring
Such a pulse wave propagation velocity measurement method can be used to determine diseases such as chronic heart failure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and arterial stiffness. Pulse wave velocity is usually physiologically delivered at 5 to 7 m / s. The pulse wave due to blood pressure consists of an advancing wave (or traveling wave) that develops and a reflected wave that returns to the heart from the distal end of the artery. The pulse wave velocity varies with age. In young people, the PWV is relatively low because the arteries are elastic, and the reflected pressure wave occurs in the diastole, increasing the perfusion (flow of blood through the tube) to the coronary arteries. The present invention can be used effectively to diagnose a subject's disease by measuring the propagation velocity of the progressive wave or the reflected wave.
