A method of deriving central aortic systolic pressure and a method of analysing arterial waveform data to derive central aortic systolic pressure values
A method of deriving central aortic systolic pressure comprising the steps of:a) creating a set having a predetermined number of blood pressure measurements,the set representative of an arterial waveform b) determining an integer intervalvalue c) averaging a series of consecutive blood pressure measurement readingsin the set equal to the integer interval value commencing from the blood pressure measurement in the set d) storing the averaged value ina central aortic systolic pressure set and e) setting the central aortic systolicpressure as the highest value in the central aortic pressure set, where stepsc. and d. are repeated with the value of being incremented by 1 each timeuntil the value of plus the integer interval value equals the predeterminednumber of blood pressure measurements in the set.
