A method for processing continuous pressure-related signals derivable from locations inside or outside a human or animal body or body cavity, comprising the steps of obtaining samples of said signals at specific intervals, and converting thus sampled pressure signals into pressure-related digital data with a time reference, wherein for selectable time sequence windows the method comprises the further steps of:
- a) identifying in a processing unit from said digital data single pressure waves related to cardiac beat-induced pressure waves,
- b) identifying in the processing unit from said digital data pressure waves related to artifacts or a combination of artifacts and cardiac beat-induced pressure waves,
- c) computing in the processing unit time sequence (TS.x)-related parameters of said single pressure waves during individual of said time sequence windows,
- d) adjusting by the processing unit said time sequence (TS.x)-related parameters of said single pressure waves during individual of said time sequence windows using formula-based adjustments based on related time sequence (rTS.x) parameters,
- e) creating in the processing unit from said formula-based adjustments factorized time sequence (fTS.x) parameters of said individual time sequence windows of said continuous pressure-related signals, and
- f) establishing and presenting by the processing unit an analysis output selected from one or more of said factorized time sequence (fTS.x)-related parameters of said single pressure waves during individual of said time sequence windows,
