Multivariate statistical models for the detection of vascular conditions, methods for creating such multivariate statistical models, and methods for the detection of vascular condition in a subject using the multivariate statistical models are described. The models are created based on arterial pressure waveform data from a first group of subjects that were experiencing a particular vascular condition and a second group of subjects that were not experiencing the same vascular condition. The multivariate statistical models are set up to provide different output values for each set of input data. Thus, when data from a subject under observation is input into the model, the relationship of the model output value to the established output values for the two groups upon which the model was established will indicate whether the subject is experiencing the vascular condition.
