Estimation of pulse transit time using ECG R-wave.

Estimation of Blood Pressure Using Pulse Transit Time

ECG R-R Interval Estimation

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a biomedical imaging modality that provides high resolution images and excellent soft tissue contrast [1]. This makes MRI a preferable imaging modality for many applications. One limitation of MRI is slow data acquisition. MRI acquires data in the Fourier domain one point at a time, usually until enough data has been collected to approximately satisfy Nyquist...

Aortic pulse wave velocity assessment in CMR: a novel method for transit time estimation

Background Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered as the “gold standard” measurement of arterial stiffness and is commonly calculated as the ratio between the distance separating two locations along the artery and the transit time (Δt) needed for the pressure or velocity wave to cover this distance. PWV is increasingly assessed by means of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Our go...

Toward a Smartphone Application for Estimation of Pulse Transit Time

Pulse transit time (PTT) is an important physiological parameter that directly correlates with the elasticity and compliance of vascular walls and variations in blood pressure. This paper presents a PTT estimation method based on photoplethysmographic imaging (PPGi). The method utilizes two opposing cameras for simultaneous acquisition of PPGi waveform signals from the index fingertip and the f...
