Evaluate aortic blood pressure waveform using an adaptive peripheral pressure transfer function

Abstract

The invention relates to method for reconstructing an aortic blood pressure waveform of a person from a peripheral blood pressure waveform of the person comprising the steps of determining at least one pre-selected parameter of the peripheral blood pressure waveform, reconstructing the aortic blood pressure waveform from the peripheral blood pressure waveform using a pressure transfer function having at least one adjustable characteristics, wherein said adjustable characteristics is determined using the at least one pre-selected parameter of the peripheral blood pressure waveform. The invention further relates to a device for reconstructing an aortic blood pressure waveform from a peripheral blood pressure waveform and a computer program product.
