Abstract

The results, regarding the development and testing of a quantitative method for diagnosing the condition of the arterial walls, based on the application of a three-channel pneumatic sensor of an original design, are presented. The possibility of using the data obtained by this device in combination with synchronous ECG measurement to determine the velocity of pulse wave propagation between two cross sections of the selected artery has been demonstrated. One of the key points of this technology is the selection of a specific pulse wave element as a reference mark for tracking the signal transit time relative to the R-peak of the synchronous ECG. After collecting measurement statistics, the average values of the wave propagation time between the selected points of the artery, considering the variability of the front delay values, are used to directly calculate the propagation velocity of the pulse wave in the investigated area of the artery. The value of the pulse wave propagation velocity in return is an objective parameter that characterizes the degree of elasticity (or stiffness) of the artery walls and their behaviour in different physiological situations.
