摘要:
A blood pressure measurement device accurately calculates an index useful in determining the degree of arteriosclerosis by accurately detecting a difference in time of appearance of a ejection wave and reflected wave in a blood pressure waveform. The device sets a threshold value based on an index that expresses a characteristic of the blood pressure waveform with respect to the point of appearance of the reflected wave in the blood pressure and estimates a rise point of the reflected wave by calculating an x-coordinate value of a point based on a maximum amplitude of the reflected wave and the threshold value. The device obtains the index of degree of arteriosclerosis by calculating a time difference in appearance between the ejection wave and the reflected wave based on the estimated rise point of the reflected wave.

When a start timing of an individual measurement control arrives, the pressurization control is started and a maximum blood pressure (blood pressure characteristic value) is estimated based on blood pressure characteristics information obtained during the pressurization control. The presence or absence of blood pressure fluctuation is determined based on the maximum blood pressure estimated this time and the (estimated) maximum blood pressure up to the previous times. The actual measurement process of the blood pressure is executed when determined that the blood pressure fluctuation is present. The actual measurement process is canceled when determined that the blood pressure fluctuation is absent.

In a pulse wave analyzer, a local maximum point of a fourth order differentiated wave of the pulse wave of one beat is acquired, and a maximum point of a reflection wave of the local maximum points of the fourth order differentiation existing in a zone of an original waveform is determined as a starting point of a reflection wave zone that is a first characteristic point. With 10% of the amplitude of the first characteristic as a threshold value, a time point at which the amplitude reaches the threshold value after the relevant point is determined as an ending point of the reflection wave zone that is a second characteristic point. The duration time of the reflection time of the time between the first characteristic point and the second characteristic point is calculated as an index useful in the diagnosis of heart disease.

摘要:
In an exercise machine, when a measurement starts, an electrocardiographic signal is detected by an electrocardiographic sensor 1 (ST33), a load drive is started (ST4), and heartbeat rate intervals of the electrocardiographic signal are sequentially obtained. A fluctuation of heartbeat rate intervals PI(n)% is obtained from a calculation formula in which the RR interval RR(n+1) of the current heartbeat is subtracted from the RR interval RR(n) of the previous heartbeat, which is then divided by RR(n) and multiplied by 100% (ST5). Entropy is calculated from 128 pieces of such PI (ST6). From the change of the entropy under the gradually increasing load (ST8), a minimum point of the entropy is obtained, which point is designated as an anaerobic threshold point (ST7). The load of the exercise machine is controlled employing this anaerobic threshold.
