The Analysis of Pulse Pressure by Vascular Strain

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to use the Noninvasive Strain Measurement System to monitor the pulse pressure of the blood’s undulation in the artery as an index for the clinical diagnosis of arteriosclerosis. In the study, a strain-measuring device (350Ω) is affixed to the left side of the radial styloid process, on the surface of the skin, and is connected to the Strain FleXense. An artery-pressuring tape is set on the left humerus, and the measurement of the wavelength and frequency of the heartbeat is taken to compare with the clinical artery wave. The results show that when the subject is in a comfortable position with moderate physiological levels, the heartbeat has no connection whatsoever with blood pressure. The greatest heartbeat strain, which occurs when the veins and arteries respectively are being cleared, displays as a linear change.
