  • REAL-TIME DETECTION OF VASCULAR CONDITIONS OF A SUBJECT USING ARTERIAL PRESSURE WAVEFORM ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20090270739
    Abstract: Methods for the detection of vascular conditions such as vasodilation in a subject are described. The methods involve receiving a signal corresponding to an arterial blood pressure and calculating one or more cardiovascular parameters from the arterial blood pressure. The cardiovascular parameters are calculated using factors impacted by vascular conditions such as vasodilation. Factors impacted by these vascular conditions include the area under the systolic portion of the arterial blood pressure signal, the duration of systole, and the ratio of the duration of the systole to the duration of the diastole. By monitoring cardiovascular parameters that are calculated using factors impacted by vascular conditions such as vasodilation for changes indicating the vascular conditions, such vascular conditions can be detected.
