- the inventors calculated the degree of arterial stenosis and the change in step response using a circulatory system model.
- the circulatory system model used here is a model obtained by dividing a blood vessel constituting a living body into a plurality of sections.
- a typical example of such a circulatory system model is described in Reference 1 “Avolio, AP, Multi-branched Model of Human Arterial System, 1980, Med. & Biol. Enng. & Comp., 18, 796”.

- the degree of stenosis represented by the data ID “82/104 / 111-0” is not giving stenosis to each section, and calculates the step response of a healthy person. As the data ID increases, the degree of stenosis given to each section increases, and the step response in a state where arteriosclerosis has advanced is calculated.
- FIG. 22 is a graph of the calculation results. From FIG. 22, it can be seen that the more healthy, the larger the slope of the rise, and the value decreases rapidly after reaching the maximum value. The greater the degree of stenosis, the slower the rise, and the change from the maximum value. It can also be seen that

- FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the correlation between ABI and EABI.
- the second index calculated by combining% MAP (A), UT (B), pulse amplitude (C), and the index (upper area) (D) calculated from the step response is significantly correlated with ABI. It was verified that the correlation is higher than that in the case of using one each of% MAP, UT, and pulse amplitude, or a combination thereof, which was previously verified.
- FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the flow of operations in measurement apparatus 100.
- the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 28 is realized by causing the CPU 10 to read out a program stored in the ROM 12 and execute the program while using the RAM 14 as a work memory, thereby demonstrating the functions shown in FIG.
- step S101 the CPU 10 starts pressurizing the cuff 24.
- the CPU 10 starts depressurizing in step S103.
- the predetermined cuff pressure is a pressure higher than at least a general systolic blood pressure value, and may be a predetermined pressure, or a value obtained by adding a predetermined pressure to a systolic blood pressure value estimated in a pressurizing process. It may be.
- step S105 the CPU 10 measures the blood pressure of the upper limbs and the lower limbs based on the cuff pressure change during the pressurization process of the cuff 24, and calculates the first index ABI using these in step S107.
- the CPU 10 When the blood pressure is measured, the CPU 10 performs hold control for maintaining the cuff pressure at a pressure suitable for pulse wave measurement in step S109.
- This pressure corresponds to, for example, a constant pressure of about 50 to 60 mmHg, a pressure about 5 to 10 mmHg lower than the minimum blood pressure value, and the like.
- the CPU 10 analyzes the pulse wave obtained based on the cuff pressure change during the hold control, and evaluates the reliability of the ABI calculated as the first index in step S113. An index value used as an index is calculated.
- step S107 stores the normal range of ABI and the normal range of EABI that is the second index in advance. Then, the ABI calculated in step S107 and the EABI calculated in step S113 are compared with the stored normal range. As a result, if both are within the normal range (YES in step S115), in step S119, the CPU 10 determines that the reliability of the ABI calculated in step S107 is high.
- step S117 determines in step S117 that the reliability of the ABI calculated in step S107 is low.
- ABI calculated in step S107 is compared with EABI calculated in step S113, ABI matches EABI or is within a predetermined range. May be determined to have high ABI credibility, and otherwise may be determined to have low ABI credibility.
- step S121 the CPU 10 outputs the ABI calculated as the first index together with the determination result.
- the output here may be a screen display or may be transmitted to another device such as a PC or an external recording medium.
- ABI may be output together with a message or mark indicating high or low ABI credibility, or output in an output mode (for example, display mode) according to the determination result. It may be a thing, and it may output with the calculated 2nd index value as a determination result.
- any one of% MAP, UT, pulse amplitude, and lower limb upper limb pulse wave transfer function may be used as the second index value, This is because it may be a combination of two or more.
- FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the operation in step S113 in the case where the second index value is calculated by combining all of these as an example. As described above, since the second index calculated in this way has a high correlation with the first index, the credibility is determined with high accuracy.
- CPU 10 determines% MAP (A), UT (B), pulse amplitude (C), and lower limb upper limb pulse wave transfer function (D) (eg, upper area). Are calculated in order. Of course, this calculation order is not limited to the order shown in FIG.
- ABI can be accurately used by using any index value (% MAP, UT, pulse amplitude, and lower limb upper limb pulse wave transfer function (for example, upper area)) obtained from the pulse wave as a criterion for determining the authenticity of ABI. It is possible to determine the authenticity of ABI, but by combining these, it is possible to determine the authenticity of ABI with higher accuracy. Furthermore, from the verification by the inventors, it is possible to determine the credibility of ABI particularly accurately by using or combining the lower limb upper limb pulse wave transfer function (for example, the upper area).
- index value % MAP, UT, pulse amplitude, and lower limb upper limb pulse wave transfer function (for example, upper area)
- the calculation of the above-mentioned second index and the determination of the authenticity of ABI using the second index are performed on the measuring apparatus 100 or an arithmetic apparatus such as a PC (personal computer) using the value from the measuring apparatus 100.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本実施の形態にかかる測定装置100の構成の具体例を示す図である。
制御部2は、測定装置100全体の制御を行なう装置であり、代表的に、CPU(Central Processing Unit)10と、ROM(Read Only Memory)12と、RAM(Random Access Memory)14とを含むコンピュータで構成される。
検出ユニット20brは、被測定者200の右上腕に装着されたカフ24brの内圧(以下、「カフ圧」という)の調整および検出を行なうことで、右上腕における脈波を検出する。カフ24brは、図示のない流体袋(たとえば空気袋)を内包している。
本実施の形態にかかる測定装置100では、上肢および下肢で測定された血圧値から、第1の指標としてその比率であるABI(下肢上肢血圧指標:Ankle Brachial Blood Pressure Index)を算出する。第1の指標は、動脈における狭窄の有無や狭窄度合いを表わす指標として用いられる。
図2は、上記動作を行なうための測定装置100の機能構成の具体例を示すブロック図である。
脈波を用いた動脈狭窄の指標としては、脈振幅の他、たとえば、%MAP(正規化脈波面積)と言われる脈波の先鋭度を表わす指標が挙げられる。%MAPは、たとえば、脈波のピーク高さHすなわち脈圧に対する、脈波面積を均等にならしたときの最低血圧からの高さMの割合(=M/H×100)として算出される。動脈狭窄や動脈閉塞がある場合、%MAPの指標値は大きくなる。
図20を参照して、Avolioモデルでは、全身の動脈を128の血管要素(区間)に分割し、各区間を代表する形状値を規定している。Avolioモデルは、形状値として、各区間に対応付けられた、長さ・半径・管壁の厚さ・ヤング率を含む。
図28は、測定装置100での動作の流れの具体例を表わすフローチャートである。図28のフローチャートに表わされる動作は、CPU10がROM12に格納されているプログラムを読出してRAM14をワークメモリとして使用しながら実行し、図2に示される各機能を発揮させることによって実現される。
測定装置100において以上の動作が行なわれることで、動脈における狭窄の有無や狭窄度合いを表わす指標として算出されたABIの信憑性を、簡易な方法で判定することができる。そのため、ABIを用いて動脈における狭窄の有無や狭窄度合いを判断する医師等に、有用な判断材料を提供することになる。
