Pulse wave analysis permits non-invasive assessment of arterial elasticity indices. The contour varies in different parts of the circulation. It depends on physiological or pathophysiological conditions of the organism. The pathological events like arteriosclerosis or diabetes have a primary effect to the artery elasticity. Hypertension or some heart diseases also influence the pulse wave velocity and resulted in earlier wave reflections. There are several methods of pulse wave measurements based on different principles and depending on the type of measured pulse wave. The evaluation parameters can be assessed from the time domain, derivations, velocity or frequency domain. The main aim of this review article is to offer a recent overview of pulse wave measurement parameters and main results obtained. The principles of pulse wave measurement and current experience in clinical practice are shortly discussed too.  相似文献

Introduction

Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and can be assessed by applanation tonometry by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIX) by pressure pulse wave analysis (PWA). As an inexpensive and operator independent alternative, photoelectric plethysmography (PPG) has been introduced with analysis of the digital volume pulse wave (DPA) and its second derivatives of wave reflections.

Objective

The objective was to investigate the repeatability of arterial stiffness parameters measured by digital pulse wave analysis (DPA) and the associations to applanation tonometry parameters.

Methods and Results

112 pregnant and non-pregnant individuals of different ages and genders were examined with SphygmoCor arterial wall tonometry and Meridian DPA finger photoplethysmography. Coefficients of repeatability, Bland-Altman plots, intraclass correlation coefficients and correlations to heart rate (HR) and body height were calculated for DPA variables, and the DPA variables were compared to tonometry variables left ventricular ejection time (LVET), PWV and AIX. No DPA variable showed any systematic measurement error or excellent repeatability, but dicrotic index (DI), dicrotic dilatation index (DDI), cardiac ejection elasticity index (EEI), aging index (AI) and second derivatives of the crude pulse wave curve, b/a and e/a, showed good repeatability. Overall, the correlations to AIX were better than to PWV, with correlations coefficients >0.70 for EEI, AI and b/a. Considering the level of repeatability and the correlations to tonometry, the overall best DPA parameters were EEI, AI and b/a. The two pansystolic time parameters, ejection time compensated (ETc) by DPA and LVET by tonometry, showed a significant but weak correlation.

Conclusion

For estimation of the LV function, ETc, EEI and b/a are suitable, for large artery stiffness EEI, and for small arteries DI and DDI. The only global parameter, AI, showed a high repeatability and the overall best correlations with AIX and PWV.  相似文献

Accurate arterial stiffness measurement would improve diagnosis and monitoring for many diseases. Atherosclerotic plaques and aneurysms are expected to involve focal changes in vessel wall properties; therefore, a method to image the stiffness variation would be a valuable clinical tool. The pulse wave inverse problem (PWIP) fits unknown parameters from a computational model of arterial pulse wave propagation to ultrasound-based measurements of vessel wall displacements by minimizing the difference between the model and measured displacements. The PWIP has been validated in phantoms, and this study presents the first in vivo demonstration. The common carotid arteries of five healthy volunteers were imaged five times in a single session with repositioning of the probe and subject between each scan. The 1D finite difference computational model used in the PWIP spanned from the start of the transducer to the carotid bifurcation, where a resistance outlet boundary condition was applied to approximately model the downstream reflection of the pulse wave. Unknown parameters that were estimated by the PWIP included a 10-segment linear piecewise compliance distribution and 16 discrete cosine transformation coefficients for each of the inlet boundary conditions. Input data was selected to include pulse waves resulting from the primary pulse and dicrotic notch. The recovered compliance maps indicate that the compliance increases close to the bifurcation, and the variability of the average pulse wave velocity estimated through the PWIP is on the order of 11%, which is similar to that of the conventional processing technique which tracks the wavefront arrival time (13%).  相似文献

The alterations in pulsatile hemodynamics that occur during hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction have not been well characterized. Changes in oscillatory hemodynamics, however, may affect right ventricular-pulmonary vascular coupling and the dissipation of energy within the lung vasculature. To better define hypoxic pulsatile hemodynamics, we measured main pulmonary artery proximal and distal micromanometric pressures and ultrasonic flow in four open-chest calves during progressive hypoxia. Main pulmonary artery impedance and pressure transmission spectra were calculated using spectral analysis methods. Measured pressure and flow signals were separated in the time domain into forward and backward components. Hypoxia increased pulmonary blood pressure and resistance and produced multiple modifications in the impedance and pressure transmission spectra that indicated increased wave reflections and elasticity. The impedance and apparent phase velocity first-harmonic values were increased in amplitude, and the pressure transmission modulus plot showed an increased peak value. In addition, the impedance modulus plot demonstrated a rightward shift and increased oscillation in the mid- to high-frequency range. The time domain analysis also confirmed increased wave reflections and elasticity. Hypoxia produced large backward-traveling (reflected) pressure and flow waves. The initial portions of these waves arrived at the heart during systole, producing characteristic changes in the measured pressure and flow waveforms. With prolonged hypoxia, main pulmonary artery pulse wave velocity increased by 30%. Thus, hypoxia is associated with complex alterations in pulmonary artery elasticity and wave reflections that act to increase the oscillatory afterload of the right ventricle.  相似文献

The typology analysis of the spectral density curves of time series obtained from various parameters of unit pulse oscillations was performed. The formal classification (typology) of spectral curves was performed using correlations of peak values of the spectral density of VLF, LF, and HF slow waves. To include a spectral density curve into a particular type, the criteria were introduced that characterize the intensity of these oscillatory components. The experimental data was collected during examinations of children and adolescents that were performed to detect the early stage of arterial hypertension (AH). The distribution of the subjects among the types of spectral density based on various parameters of pulse oscillation was evaluated. The results of the comparative analysis of spectral type distribution for various parameters are shown. This analysis has revealed the most informative spectral parameters for differential diagnosis of conditions of two types: type 1, essential hypertension, and type 2, various functional disorders with a normal blood pressure. It has been found that the parameters of the oscillatory components of dicrotic pulse wave time characteristics are the most informative for detecting hypertension in children.  相似文献

Pulse wave evaluation is an effective method for arteriosclerosis screening. In a previous study, we verified that pulse waveforms change markedly due to arterial stiffness. However, a pulse wave consists of two components, the incident wave and multireflected waves. Clarification of the complicated propagation of these waves is necessary to gain an understanding of the nature of pulse waves in vivo. In this study, we built a one-dimensional theoretical model of a pressure wave propagating in a flexible tube. To evaluate the applicability of the model, we compared theoretical estimations with measured data obtained from basic tube models and a simple arterial model. We constructed different viscoelastic tube set-ups: two straight tubes; one tube connected to two tubes of different elasticity; a single bifurcation tube; and a simple arterial network with four bifurcations. Soft polyurethane tubes were used and the configuration was based on a realistic human arterial network. The tensile modulus of the material was similar to the elasticity of arteries. A pulsatile flow with ejection time 0.3 s was applied using a controlled pump. Inner pressure waves and flow velocity were then measured using a pressure sensor and an ultrasonic diagnostic system. We formulated a 1D model derived from the Navier-Stokes equations and a continuity equation to characterize pressure propagation in flexible tubes. The theoretical model includes nonlinearity and attenuation terms due to the tube wall, and flow viscosity derived from a steady Hagen-Poiseuille profile. Under the same configuration as for experiments, the governing equations were computed using the MacCormack scheme. The theoretical pressure waves for each case showed a good fit to the experimental waves. The square sum of residuals (difference between theoretical and experimental wave-forms) for each case was <10.0%. A possible explanation for the increase in the square sum of residuals is the approximation error for flow viscosity. However, the comparatively small values prove the validity of the approach and indicate the usefulness of the model for understanding pressure propagation in the human arterial network.  相似文献

Arteriosclerosis is considered to be a major cause of cardiovascular diseases, which account for approximately 30% of the causes of death in the world. We have recently demonstrated a strong correlation between arteriosclerosis (arterial elasticity) and two characteristics: maximum systolic velocity (S1) and systolic second peak velocity (S2) of the common carotid artery flow velocity waveform (CCFVW). The CCFVW can be measured by using a small portable measuring device. However, there is currently no theoretical evidence supporting the causes of the relation between CCFVW and arterial elasticity, or the origin of the CCFVW characteristics. In this study, the arterial blood flow was simulated using a one-dimensional systemic arterial segments model of human artery in order to conduct a qualitative evaluation of the relationship between arterial elasticity and the characteristics of CCFVW. The simulation was carried out based on the discretized segments with the physical properties of a viscoelastic tube (the cross-sectional area at the proximal and terminal ends, the length, and the compliance per unit area of the tube (CS)). The findings obtained through this study revealed that the simulated CCFVW had shape similar characteristics to that of the measured CCFVW. Moreover, when the compliance CS of the model was decreased, the first peak of the simulated-CCFVW decreased and the second peak increased. Further, by separating the anterograde pulse wave and the reflected pulse wave, which form the CCFVW, we found that the decrease in the first peak of the simulated CCFVW was due to the arrival of a reflected pulse wave from the head after the common carotid artery toward the arrival of a anterograde pulse wave ejected directly from the heart and that the increase in the second peak resulted from the arrival of the peak of the reflected pulse wave from the thoracic aorta. These results establish that the CCFVW characteristics contribute to the assessment of arterial elasticity.  相似文献

The dynamic characteristics of the proximal arterial system are studied by solving the nonlinear momentum and mass conservation equations for pressure and flow. The equations are solved for a model systemic arterial system that includes the aorta, common iliacs, and the internal and external iliac arteries. The model includes geometric and elastic taper of the aorta, nonlinearly elastic arteries, side flows, and a complex distal impedance. The model pressure wave shape, inlet and outlet impedance, wave travel, and apparent wave velocity compare favorably with the values measured on humans. Calculations indicate that: (i) reflections are the major factor determining the shape and distal amplification of the pressure wave in the arterial tree; (ii) although important in attenuating the proximal transmission of reflecting waves, geometric taper is not the major cause of the distal pressure wave amplification; (iii) the dicrotic wave is a result of peripheral reflection and is not due to the sudden change in flow at the end of systole; (iv) the elastic taper and nonlinearity of the wall elasticity are of minor significance in determining the flow and pressure profiles; and (v) in spite of numerous nonlinearities, the system behaves in a somewhat linear fashion for the lower frequency components.  相似文献

Transmission of pressure pulses from the aorta to the central retinal artery is studied under normal and stenotic conditions. A convenient model for the study is obtained by replacing the arteries with a network of distributed electrical transmission lines. By using boundary conditions and a voltage-pressure analogy, the transmitted pulse is obtained. Stenosis of varying degrees were simulated at different locations and the characteristics of the transmitted pulse was studied by examining its peak value, the dicrotic notch and the systolic slope. The dependence of the characteristics of the transmitted pulse on the physical parameters were also studied.  相似文献

For measurement of viscoelastic properties of monolayer-covered interfaces a longitudinal wave is generated in the plane of the interface, using a horizontal oscillating barrier. The wave propagation depends on the values of the viscoelastic parameters of the monolayer. The technique is applied here to study the surface elasticity of layers consisting of lipids extracted from nerve membranes. It is concluded that mechanical disturbances are propagated as longitudinal waves. The possibility that longitudinal waves occur in nerve membranes and the role they might play in the transmission of information in biological membranes is discussed.  相似文献

The effect of colchicine was studied in 51 hypertensive subjects with several other vascular risk factors. Colchicine was administered for 3-4 months in a daily dose of 1 mg per os. The treatment did not change the lipid content in the blood and in skin biopsies, and had no effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. On the contrary, colchicine treatment significantly improved the conjunctival biomicroscopy score, the duration of the dicrotic wave and the peripheral resistance index. The results show the improvement of the microcirculatory parameters (elasticity of arteries) without changes of serum and tissue lipid parameters in the patients treated with colchicine.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was the assessment of the parameters of pulse waves in the carotid artery and their relationships with baroreflex-controlled heart rate variability. The early systolic peak (ESP) is closely connected with the filling of the carotid artery, whereas the late systolic peak (LSP) shows the amplitude of the wave reflected from the periphery and affects arterial pressure oscillations activating baroreceptors and changing the heart rate (HR). A cardiac rhythmogram and pulse pressure waves in the carotid artery were continuously recorded for 5 min. ESP and LSP amplitudes (in ml/l) were evaluated in each wave. Patients with coronary artery disease and healthy subjects were examined. Spectrum analysis and assessment of the coherent function between RR intervals, the ESP, and the LSP in the middle frequency band were performed. In healthy subjects, the amplitude of the ESP was higher than that of the LSP, whereas, in patients, the LSP amplitude surpassed that of the ESP. The LSP/ESP ratio was significantly higher in patients, indicating that artery dilation depended more on the reflected wave than on the primary wave. The study revealed that age had the most pronounced effect on the LSP/ESP ratio. Healthy subjects showed the highest age-dependent coherence between the RR interval and the ESP amplitude, whereas in patients this coherence was significantly lower. Measurement of the ESP and LSP amplitudes and their ratio allowed evaluation of vasomotor artery tone. Age and disease produced the maximum effects on the artery tone and decreased the correlation between the changes in the artery tone and the HR in the baroreflex range of frequency regulation.  相似文献

In this study, we developed and examined the feasibility of a model-based system identification approach to cardiovascular disease diagnosis. The basic premise of the approach is that it may be possible to diagnose cardiovascular disease from disease-induced alterations in the arterial mechanical properties manifested in the proximal and distal arterial blood pressure waveforms. It first individualizes the lumped-parameter model of wave propagation and reflection in the artery using the measurement of proximal and distal arterial blood pressure waveforms. Then, it employs a diagnosis logic, in the form of disease-specific patterns in model parameters, referred as \(\alpha , \beta \) and pulse transit time. The longitudinal change in these parameters is used to diagnose the presence of peripheral artery disease and arterial stiffening. We illustrated the feasibility of the proposed approach by testing it in a full-scale in-silico arterial tree simulation. The results showed that the approach exhibited superior sensitivity to ankle-brachial index and convenience to carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity: The model parameters \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) responded with up to 100 and 40 % changes to peripheral artery disease with up to 50 % arterial blockage whereas the change in ankle-brachial index was \({<}5\,\%\); the same parameters responded with up to 300 and 40 % changes to up to 100 % arterial stiffening while pulse transit time changed by up to 24 %. Together with the development of more convenient techniques for the measurement of arterial blood pressure waveforms, the proposed approach may evolve into a viable alternative to the state-of-the-art techniques for cardiovascular disease diagnosis.  相似文献

Mortality increases when acute coronary syndromes are complicated by stress-induced hyperglycemia. Early pulse wave reflection can augment central aortic systolic blood pressure and increase left ventricular strain. Altered pulse wave reflection may contribute to the increase in cardiac risk during acute hyperglycemia. Chronic ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation has recently been shown to reduce pulse wave reflection in diabetes. We investigated the in vivo effects of acute hyperglycemia, with and without AA pretreatment, on pulse wave reflection and arterial hemodynamics. Healthy male volunteers were studied. Peripheral blood pressure (BP) was measured at the brachial artery, and the SphygmoCor pulse wave analysis system was used to derive central BP, the aortic augmentation index (AIx; measure of systemic arterial stiffness), and the time to pulse wave refection (Tr; measure of aortic distensibility) from noninvasively obtained radial artery pulse pressure (PP) waveforms. Hemodynamics were recorded at baseline and then every 30 min during a 120-min systemic hyperglycemic clamp (14 mmol/l). The subjects, studied on two separate occasions, were randomized in a double-blind, crossover manner to placebo or 2 g intravenous AA before the initiation of hyperglycemia. During hyperglycemia, AIx increased and Tr decreased. Hyperglycemia did not change peripheral PP but did magnify central aortic PP and diminished the normal physiological amplification of PP from the aorta to the periphery. Pulse wave reflection, as assessed from peripheral pulse wave analysis, is enhanced during acute hyperglycemia. Pretreatment with AA prevented the hyperglycemia-induced hemodynamic changes. By protecting hemodynamics during acute hyperglycemia, AA may have therapeutic use.  相似文献

The paper summarizes the results of the experiments aimed at obtaining sphygmograms of peripheral and carotid arteries with due regard to the values of longitudinal dimensions of body and extremities in healthy subjects. Mathematical equations expressing the fact that dicrotic waves recorded on sphygmograms are the reflections of blood eigentones coinciding with resonance oscillations have been derived. It is proved that at least two partial vibration systems oscillating with different own frequencies are present in human arteries. Conditions under which the resonance of constituent frequencies of pulsatile pressure waves and output waves in arteries occurs have been determined. From this point of view a new explanation for the well-known phenomenon of the pulsatile wave amplitude increase from the heart towards peripheric regions is proposed.  相似文献

Different characteristic points used for the evaluation of pulse wave velocity (PWV) give significantly different results. Hence, the accuracy of using these points is questionable. There is need for quantitative comparison of different techniques to determine PWV. Previous studies aimed at comparing different PWV measurement techniques have been noted, however, on a limited number of smaller animals (mice, dogs, etc.). This simulation-based study aims to compare different techniques for PWV measurement in a large representative human population. A computer model is developed for simulating the pressure wave propagation between the carotid and femoral arteries. Using relationships observed in clinical trials, the model input parameters for a statistically representative population are expressed in terms of a person’s age, gender and height. The model is used to calculate the carotid–femoral pressure ratio for different individuals, which is then parameterised into a number of features, and the equivalent propagation time is calculated using the phase-slope method. Using this time, the apparent phase velocity is determined and compared with PWV determined by the foot-to-foot technique. The two velocities compare well with a difference of 0.0059±0.0904 m/s. An averaging criterion for the calculation of apparent phase velocity has been tested and shown to give good estimates compared to the foot-to-foot technique. As it does not involve the identification of characteristic points on the measured pressure waves, the phase-slope method is more suitable for implementation in PWV monitors.  相似文献
