New Method for Measure Regional Pulse Wave Velocity by Means of Rf Ultrasonic Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to describe a non-invasive method of examination of the local pulse wave velocity. The measurements were carried out in the elastic silicon model of the artery immersed in water tank. Two synchronized ultrasonic apparatus VED with the ultrasonic radio frequency echoes acquisition for evaluation of the arterial elasticity, developed by the author, were used. The zerocrossing method was used for evaluating the pulse wave by measurements of the diameter changes of the model of the artery. The transit time between the waveforms of instant artery diameter at two measurement points, 5cm along the model of the artery was measured. The transit time was determined using the criteria of similarity of the first derivatives of the raising slopes of curves describing the instant vessel’s diameter changes in two measurement points of the model of the artery. The pulse wave velocity obtained by proposed two-point method was referred to the one-point method based of the modified Bramwell-Hill relation.

The pulse-wave velocity (PWV) has been used as an indicator of vascular stiffness, which can be an early predictor of cardiovascular mortality. A noninvasive, easily applicable method for detecting the regional pulse wave (PW) may contribute as a future modality for risk assessment. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and reproducibility of PW imaging (PWI) during propa...
متن کاملMeasurement of Local Pulse Wave Velocity on Aorta for Noninvasive Diagnosis of Arteriosclerosis
Small vibrations are simultaneously measured at two adjacent points on the aortic wall near the aortic valve by electronically alternating the directions of the ultrasonic beam. The transit delay time of the pulse wave between these two points is determined from two vibration signals obtained by this alternation beam method. The local pulse wave velocity at several millimeters on the aorta is p...
