Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for obtaining central aortic systolic pressure and a method for analyzing arterial waveform data to obtain a central aortic systolic pressure value. According to a first method of the invention, the invention is particularly applicable to deriving central aortic systolic pressure from an arterial waveform. However, according to the second method of the present invention, the present invention is adapted to analyze the set of arterial waveform data to obtain a corresponding set of central aortic systolic pressure data.
Background
The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be understood that this discussion is not an admission that any of the material referred to herein was published, known or part of the common general knowledge as at the time of priority of the invention, in accordance with any judicial interpretation.
In developed countries, heart disease is a serious health problem. Currently, one indication of heart disease is the deviation of the blood pressure of a human body from a predetermined normal range of values.
A common method of determining human blood pressure is to read the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) of the human arm using a pressure cuff. These values are then typically used to replace central arterial blood pressure values. While this assumption has proven to be very beneficial in predicting potential heart disease, current research indicates that normal arm blood pressure values measured in this manner may mask abnormal central aortic systolic pressure values.
One solution to this problem has been found by Atcor Medical Pty Ltd of West Ryde, New Nanwester, Australia. The Atcor solution uses a unique conversion formula to convert the radial pressure waveform to the central arterial pressure waveform. However, this formula is only available through proprietary software available commercially from Atcor, as is SphygmocorTMBlood pressure monitoring systems are used together. More importantly, the formula is based on correlation values determined by measurements on the patient cross representation, and thus may result in patient central arterial pressure readings that fall outside the range of the cross representation sampling points.

The predetermined number of blood pressure measurements for at least one arterial waveform in the data set is different from the predetermined number of blood pressure measurements for other arterial waveforms in the data set.
With regard to the second and third aspects of the invention, the set of blood pressure measurements should be substantially equal to a uniform distribution of the values of the arterial waveform.
Desirably, the method further comprises the step of determining the duration of said arterial waveform, wherein said predetermined number of blood pressure measurements is determined according to the following formula:
predetermined number sr × t
Wherein,

Ideally, using this technique, the integer interval values are within a range whose boundaries are determined by the following equations:
iRange＝n/(t×v)±(n/(t×30))
wherein
n is the predetermined number of blood pressure measurements in the set;
t is the duration of the waveform (in seconds); and

Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.
According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a method of determining central arterial pressure 10 is disclosed. The method 10 is shown in flow chart form in fig. 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the method 10 begins with the creation of a blood pressure measurement combination from a human representative of an arterial waveform (step 12). The set of blood pressure measurements has a predetermined number of measurements (n). At step 14, the predetermined number n is divided by the preset value (v) to determine an integer interval value (i). Thus, the integer interval value (i) may be obtained by an absolute value or a rounding function.
The following steps are then repeated starting from the first blood pressure measurement bp [ (f) ]:
adding the blood pressure measurement results { bp [ f ], bp [ f +1], bp [ f +2], bp [ f +3], bp [ f + i-1] } (step 16) to obtain a value s;
dividing the sum s by the interval value i to obtain a mean blood pressure value (a) (step 18);
the mean blood pressure value a is stored in the central arterial pressure set (step 20).
The above steps (steps 16 to 20) are repeated until f + i-1 equals n.
According to a second embodiment of the invention, there is a method of analyzing an arterial waveform data set to obtain a corresponding central arterial pressure data set 100. The generally prior method of this particular embodiment is for the medical professional to obtain an arterial waveform representative of the human blood pressure according to any technique known to those skilled in the art. The arterial waveform representation is then provided to a central processing station for determining a corresponding central arterial pressure. After receiving the representation of the arterial waveform, the central processing station operates as follows:
for each arterial waveform in the waveform data set, a corresponding central arterial pressure value a is determined and stored in the central arterial pressure data set according to the following procedure.
The processed arterial waveforms 102 are divided into a set of representative blood pressure measurements (step 10). The set of blood pressure measurements has a predetermined number of measurements (n). At step 112, the predetermined number n is divided by the preset value (v) to determine an integer interval value (i).
The following steps are then repeated starting from the first blood pressure measurement bp [ (f) ]:
adding the blood pressure measurement results { bp [ f ], bp [ f +1], bp [ f +2], bp [ f +3], bp [ f + i-1] } (step 114) to obtain a value s;
the summed value s is divided by the interval value i to obtain a set of mean blood pressures (a) (step 116).
The mean blood pressure value a is stored in the central arterial pressure set (step 118).
The above steps (steps 114 to 118) are repeated until f + i-1 equals n.
Step 120 analyzes the set of central arterial pressure values to determine the highest value (h) in the set. The highest value h is then stored in the central arterial pressure data set as the central aortic systolic pressure value corresponding to the processed arterial waveform.
The above steps are then repeated until the corresponding central arterial pressure value for each arterial waveform in the waveform data set has been calculated.
According to a third embodiment of the present invention, in which like numerals indicate like steps, there is a method (not shown) of analyzing the arterial waveform data set to obtain a corresponding central arterial pressure data set. This particular embodiment is based on experiments conducted by the applicant, wherein it has been found that the value of n can be any value exceeding 15.
In this particular embodiment, although a preferred value of v is 4 to determine the appropriate interval, a substantially accurate value of arterial pressure can be obtained within a range of interval values, the limits of which are determined by:
iRange＝n/(t×v)±(n/(t×30))
wherein the variable t represents the duration of one waveform (in seconds) in this particular embodiment.
This embodiment will now be described in more detail with the following example as background:
according to step 12, a set of blood pressure measurements from the human body representing the arterial waveform is obtained. The measurements are as follows (sequential, left to right, top to bottom):
62.0 63.6 73.1 91.1 112.3 132.1 149.6 165.4 176.0 180.7
182.0 181.9 181.3 180.2 178.8 176.8 174.4 171.5 167.9 163.1
156.4 147.8 137.1 125.1 114.0 106.2 102.3 101.1 100.7 99.8
98.2 95.9 93.2 90.6 88.1 85.8 83.9 82.2 80.4 78.7
77.2 76.2 75.5 74.7 73.7 72.7 72.0 71.5 71.1 70.5
69.9 69.1 68.4 67.5 66.9 66.1 65.5 65.1 64.9 64.8
64.4 63.8 63.3 62.9 62.7 62.8 63.1 63.3 63.5 63.6
63.6 63.5 63.4 63.0 62.5 62.0
the duration used to complete the waveform is 1.27 seconds.
This sets n to 76. If v is 4, interval value range (i)range) Is determined by the following formula:
iRangen/(t × v) ± (n/(t × 30)), and thus
iRange76/(1.27 × 4) ± (76/(1.27 × 30)), and thus
iRange＝14.96±(1.99)
Since the interval cannot be an integer valueOther values than irangeThe value is limited to 13 to 17
Within the range of (1). For this example, the value of i used is 15.
The central arterial pressure set values are generated as follows, as required in steps 16 to 20:
{140.7 148.3 155.7 162.3 167.4 170.8
172.4 172.3 170.4 167.0 162.5 157.5
152.2 146.8 141.5 136.3 131.0 125.8
120.6 115.4 110.4 105.7 101.5 97.8
94.8 92.5 90.5 88.8 87.1 85.4
83.6 81.9 80.3 78.9 77.6 76.4
75.3 74.4 73.4 72.6 71.8 71.1
70.3 69.6 69.0 68.4 67.8 67.3
66.7 66.2 65.7 65.2 64.8 64.5
64.2 64.0 63.8 63.7 63.6 64.5
63.3 63.1}
as can be seen, the central arterial pressure set has 62 elements whose values are equal to n-i + 1. It is clear from the set that the highest value (h) in the set is actually the 7 th data element (172.4). Thus, the central aortic systolic pressure of the human body was determined to be 172.4.
In a fourth and most preferred embodiment of the invention, there is a method of determining central arterial pressure as described in the first embodiment of the invention. However, in this particular embodiment, the predetermined number n is determined according to the following formula:
n＝sr×t
wherein
sr-the sampling frequency (hertz) of the measuring device used to record the blood pressure measurements in the set bp; and
t is the time (seconds) taken to complete an arterial waveform.
In this particular embodiment, the blood pressure measurements in the set bp are measurements obtained by the measurement device at each repetition of the sampling rate. Additionally, in this particular embodiment of the invention, the spacing value is within a range, the limits of which are determined as follows:
iRange＝sr/v±(sr/30)
thus sr also represents the sampling frequency (hertz) of the measuring device, which is used to record the blood pressure measurements in the set bp. Further, the value of v is preferably 4. And this formula can only be applied if the sr value exceeds 30.
The same set of blood pressure measurements as set forth above is used, but this time i is calculated in the case where the set is the peak of blood pressure values obtained by a sampling device having a sampling frequency (sr) of 60 measurements per secondRangeThe values are as follows:
iRange＝sr/v±(sr/30)
iRange＝60/4±(60/30)
iRange＝15±2
this will result in iRangeThe value is between 13 and 17. The remainder of the method may then proceed as set forth above for the first embodiment.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the above invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. In particular, the following changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention:
the set of blood pressure measurements may be obtained from a device that is also used to perform the method of the invention. Alternatively, the blood pressure measurement may be obtained from a separate device and transmitted to a further device for performing the method of the invention.
The second specific embodiment of the invention may be modified so that the waveform data set does not contain waveforms-alternatively, the waveform data set data may contain data sets representative of these waveforms. Thus, the process of step 110 may be omitted.
The waveform data set may be provided to an entity that performs the method for the duration of each waveform in the data set. Alternatively, the entity performing the method may independently determine the duration of each waveform by another method (e.g., by receiving a graph of a predetermined length of the x-axis with a fixed time value and estimating the waveform duration given the time/distance relationship, or obtaining the duration from other complex values, such as the sampling rate used to generate the set of blood pressure measurements).
As the most representative result of the arterial waveform, the blood pressure values constituting the set bp should follow the uniform distribution of the arterial pulse shape.
It will also be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the features described above are not mutually exclusive and may be combined to form other embodiments of the invention.
