Systolic time intervals are highly correlated to fundamental cardiac functions. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using heart sound (HS) to accurately measure the opening and closing moments of the aortic valve, since these are crucial moments to define the main systolic timings of the heart cycle, i.e. the pre-ejection period (PEP) and the left ventricular ejection time (LVET). We introduce...
The use of ECG-based pulse delays as a surrogate of the arterial blood pressure has long been questioned, especially when the subject is given vaso-active drugs altering the vascular resistance. When measured from the ECG, pulse delays include two components: the vascular pulse transit time and cardiac pre-ejection period (PEP). This paper analyses the relationships of both vascular and cardiac components...
A lumped model of the arterial circulation is applied to the study of the dependencies between blood pressure and systolic time-intervals (PEP, LVET). The left ventricle is handled as a pressure source directly coupled with the varying vascular conditions. Four factors are individually considered: peripheral resistance, LV contractility, end diastolic volume and heart rate. The computed dependence...
This paper investigates the specific contributions of the pre-ejection period (PEP) and pulse transit time (PTT) for blood pressure estimation based on the pulse wave methodology. We show that in short-term physical stress tests, PEP dominates PTT variations raising the question of a suitable blood pressure calibration. A model using a generalized pulse wave velocity achieves acceptable accuracy for...
