The clinical application of patient-specific modelling of the heart can provide valuable insights in supplementing and advancing methods of diagnosis as well as helping to devise the best possible therapeutic approach for each individual…
Oscillometric monitors are the most common automated blood pressure (BP) measurement devices used in non-specialist settings. However, their accuracy and reliability vary under different settings and for different age groups and health…
Background and Objectives: In a significant portion of surgeries, blood pressure (BP) is often measured non-invasively in an intermittent manner. This practice has a risk of missing clinically relevant BP changes between two adjacent…
Oscillometry is the standard method for non-invasive, cuff-based blood pressure (BP) measurement, but it introduces systematic errors that may impact clinical accuracy. This study investigates the sources of these errors--primarily the…
Continuous and noninvasive monitoring of blood pressure has numerous clinical and fitness applications. Current methods of continuous measurement of blood pressure are either invasive and/or require expensive equipment. Therefore, we…
The local beat-to-beat local pulse pressure (PP) and blood pressure waveform of arteries, especially central arteries, are important indicators of the course of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Nevertheless, noninvasive measurement of them…
Recent research has shown that each apnea episode results in a significant rise in the beat-to-beat blood pressure and by a drop to the pre-episode levels when patient resumes normal breathing. While the physiological implications of these…
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a group of diseases that adversely affect the passive phase of the cardiac cycle and can lead to heart failure. While left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is a valuable prognostic…
Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring is essential for timely diagnosis and intervention in critical care settings. However, BP varies significantly across individuals, this inter-patient variability motivates the development of…
Heart failure is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide and has a significant impact on their quality of life and mortality rates. An objective assessment of cardiac pressures remains an important method for the…
Blood pressure (BP) changes are linked to individual health status in both clinical and non-clinical settings. This study developed a deep learning model to classify systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean (MBP) BP changes using…
In this paper we present an electronic system to perform a non-invasive measurement of the blood pressure based on the oscillometric method, which does not suffer from the limitations of the well-known auscultatory one. Moreover the…
Accurate noninvasive estimation of intracranial pressure (ICP) remains a major challenge in critical care. We developed a bespoke machine learning algorithm that integrates system identification and ranking-constrained optimization to…
Objective: to develop quantitative methods for the clinical interpretation of the ballistocardiogram (BCG). Methods: a closed-loop mathematical model of the cardiovascular system is proposed to theoretically simulate the mechanisms…
This study explores extended feature space that is indicative of blood pressure (BP) changes for better estimation of continuous BP in an unobtrusive way. A total of 222 features were extracted from noninvasively acquired electrocardiogram…
Over the past decades, hemodynamics simulators have steadily evolved and have become tools of choice for studying cardiovascular systems in-silico. While such tools are routinely used to simulate whole-body hemodynamics from physiological…
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death around the world. To detect and treat heart-related diseases, continuous Blood Pressure (BP) monitoring along with many other parameters are required. Several invasive and…
This paper presents a novel blood pressure (BP) estimation method based on pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse arrival time (PAT) to estimate the systolic BP (SBP) and the diastolic BP (DBP). A data acquisition hardware is designed for…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and sustained hypertension is an often silent risk factor, making cuffless continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring with wearable devices important for…
Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) $>$ 20 mmHg, is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and decreased pulmonary arterial compliance. There are few measurable biomarkers of…
