摘要: The pulse wave comes from the displacement of surface skin and is composed of incident and reflected waves. Since the properties of the reflected wave change considerably owing to the viscoelasticity of the vessel walls, the analysis of the reflected wave is considered to be useful for evaluating arterial stiffness; thereby, appropriate estimation of the incident wave is important for separating the pulse wave. Here, the incident wave is generated by a forward wave, which is the intravascular pressure caused by blood flow. In the former …
