Abstract
For more than a century, there has been interest in
pulse wave velocity and pulse transit time as a possible metric
for blood pressure and other cardiovascular parameters. The
most common approach in noninvash:e measurement of these
metries has been to measure the time delay between the QRS
complex on the electrocardiograph and the detection of the
finger photoplethysmograph. This paper introduces a new
technique for measuring the brachial photoplethysmograph and
argues that this forms a better timing reference than the QRS
complex.
