Abstract: An apparatus is provided for evaluating cardiovascular functions. The apparatus combines the principles of measuring pressure and pulse signals, and monitors blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals simultaneously. An inflatable cuff measures blood pressure and pulse wave velocity. The apparatus also calculates systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure and other parameters related to blood pressure. The apparatus not only calculates vascular Stiffness Index (SI), vascular Reflection Index (RI) and other arterial related parameters but also Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), heartbeat, QRS interval, ST segment, and other ECG parameters.

Abstract: The invention is related to a noninvasive pulse measurement system with constant pressure for extremities of a human, and the constant pressure is modulated among 30 to 120 mmHg. There are an auto-mode and a manual mode for measurement algorithm. The auto-mode completes measurement and recording processes automatically during 2 minutes and pressurizes the system from low pressure (30 mmHg) to high pressure (120 mmHg) with 10 mmHg gradient every 5 seconds while the manual mode completes measurement and recording processes during a long time under a user's setting. Moreover, by a post-treatment of the system, the system is able to obtain continuous pulse signals, continuous pulse differential signals, and continuous pulse integral signals that are useful for Chinese medicine to evaluate and monitor the user's cardio-physiology and circulatory system.
