摘要:
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.

In the measurement device, the blood pressure of the upper arm and the blood pressure of the lower limb are measured using cuffs attached to the upper arm and the lower limb (ankle), respectively. The pulse wave of the upper arm and the pulse wave of the lower limb are measured in synchronization using such cuffs. The upper arm-lower limb pulse wave propagation velocity (baPWV) is calculated based on the appearance time difference of the two pulse waves. The upper arm pulse wave propagation velocity (upper arm PWV) is calculated based on the appearance time difference of the ejection wave and the reflection wave in the upper arm pulse wave. If the values of such propagation velocities are different, a warning is issued.

A blood pressure measurement device includes a cuff, a display, a distance sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a CPU. The display displays a positional relationship between the patient's heart and the device, which includes a flat screen. The distance sensor measures a distance between the device and the patient, and detects a subject to be measured on a line perpendicular to the flat screen of the display and measures the distance. The acceleration sensor measures an angle of inclination of the device when mounted on the patient's wrist. The CPU calculates a positional relationship between the patient's heart and the device based on the distance between the device and the subject to be measured, the angle of inclination of the device mounted on the patient's wrist, the length of the patient's forearm and upper arm, and a vertical distance between the patient's shoulder and heart.

A blood pressure information measurement device includes an air bladder wrapped around a central side of a measurement portion for pulse wave measurement and an air bladder wrapped at a peripheral side for blood pressure measurement. The air bladder for blood pressure measurement is increased to a pressure higher than a systolic blood pressure, and a blood pressure is measured. An internal pressure of the air bladder is maintained, a pulse wave is measured in avascularized state, and a feature point needed for calculating an index for determining an arteriosclerosis degree is extracted from the pulse wave. When the feature point is not extracted from the pulse wave, the internal pressure of the air bladder for blood pressure measurement is reduced to a pressure lower than the systolic blood pressure, a pulse wave in non-avascularized state is measured, and a feature point is extracted from the pulse wave.

A CPU of a blood pressure information measurement device calculates blood pressure from a change in internal pressure of an air bladder used to measure the blood pressure. AI (augmentation index) and Tr (traveling time to reflected wave) are calculated from a pulse wave waveform. A path difference calculation unit of the CPU stores a correction equation to correct a pulse wave propagation distance that is stored in advance, and, by substituting the calculated blood pressure value, AI and the like into the correction equation, corrects the pulse wave propagation distance stored in advance and approximates the pulse wave propagation distance stored in advance to an actual pulse wave propagation distance. A PWV (pulse wave velocity) calculation unit calculates the PWV using the corrected distance.
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.

A blood pressure information measurement device includes a main body, including an inflation pump and an exhaust valve, and a cuff, including an air bladder for pulse wave measurement and an air bladder for blood pressure value measurement. The air bladder for pulse wave measurement and the air bladder for blood pressure value measurement are wrapped around a proximal side and a distal side of the upper arm, respectively. A first piping portion connects the air bladder for blood pressure value measurement to the inflation pump and the exhaust valve. A second piping portion branching from the first piping portion connects the air bladder for pulse wave measurement to the first piping portion. The second piping portion includes a 2-port valve that switches between connecting and disconnecting the air bladder for pulse wave measurement and the first piping portion, and a pressure sensor for measuring a pulse wave.
