  • Publication number: 20130345576
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for estimating central aortic pulse pressure by cuff pressure pulse wave oscillation signals, comprising: (I) providing an equation for estimating central aortic pulse pressure; (II) measuring pressure pulse wave oscillation signals in a cuff, which comprise a brachial systolic blood pressure, a diastolic blood pressure and a waveform of the pressure pulse wave oscillation signals in the cuff; (III) averaging the waveform of the pressure pulse wave oscillation signals and calibrating the averaged waveform by the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure; (IV) analyzing the calibrated pressure pulse wave oscillation signal waveform to obtain a plurality predicting variables; and (V) obtaining an estimate of central aortic pulse pressure by values of predicting variables in step (IV) and the equation in step (I). The present invention further provides a device for estimating central aortic pulse pressure by the method of the present invention.
