Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.3K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Direct Method
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Wearable Technology

    Background:

    • Cuffless blood pressure (CBP) estimation using pulse transit time (PTT) is of significant interest for wearables.
    • Pulse arrival time (PAT) measurements, common in wearables, include pre-ejection period (PEP), limiting accuracy.
    • Traditional PEP measurement requires specialized equipment and trained personnel, hindering out-of-hospital use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an unobtrusive hand-to-hand impedance plethysmography (hh-IPG) method for estimating the pre-ejection period (PEP).
    • To validate the feasibility and accuracy of hh-IPG for PEP estimation compared to established methods.
    • To explore the potential of hh-IPG for integration into convenient, non-invasive wearable devices.

    Main Methods:

    • Sequential recording of hand-to-hand impedance plethysmography (hh-IPG) and reference impedance cardiography (ICG) signals.
    • Data acquisition from 9 subjects across a wide age range for 2 minutes each.
    • Correlation analysis between PEP estimates derived from hh-IPG and ICG.

    Main Results:

    • A strong correlation (R = 0.90) was observed between PEP estimated using hh-IPG and reference PEP from ICG.
    • The hh-IPG method demonstrated feasibility for PEP estimation.
    • The results suggest potential for incorporating hh-IPG into future wearable devices.

    Conclusions:

    • The hh-IPG method provides a non-invasive, stable, and user-friendly alternative for PEP estimation.
    • This approach offers lower variability compared to traditional impedance cardiography (ICG).
    • hh-IPG is suitable for application in wearable devices and telemedicine platforms for enhanced cardiovascular monitoring.
