Arterial hypertension is an indicator of cardiovascular pathologies. It causes arterial stiffness which worsens with aging. This paper presents a novel PhotoPlethysmoGraphy-ElectroCardioGraph (PPG-ECG) combo measurement system, using a dedicated signal processing methodology, which aims at the evaluation of the Pulse Wave Velocity in order to obtain clinical parameters of the aging state of the arteries (Arterial Stiffness). Preliminary experimental results are presented, which demonstrates the suitability of the proposed methodology.

Abstract
Arterial hypertension is an indicator of cardiovascular pathologies. It causes arterial stiffness which worsens with aging. This paper presents a novel PhotoPlethysmoGraphy-ElectroCardioGraph (PPG-ECG) combo measurement system, using a dedicated signal processing methodology, which aims at the evaluation of the Pulse Wave Velocity in order to obtain clinical parameters of the aging state of the arteries (Arterial Stiffness). Preliminary experimental results are presented, which demonstrates the suitability of the proposed methodology.File in questo prodotto:
