Reply to 'Comment on Photoplethysmography sampling frequency: pilot assessment of how low can we go to analyze pulse

Abstract:
In his Comment, Hejjel argued that some contents previously published by us were inappropriate for the statistical analysis of pulse rate variability due to high inter-individual dispersion. He also claimed that data collection over 5 min for short-term HRV analysis and data collection for an abnormal range of people were required. In order to give our perspective on these issues, we will discuss and clarify some of the existing literature and our own work on this subject, underlining the difference between electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram.

Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
