Pressure transfer function for aorta model in cardiovascular simulator: Feasibility study of wearable central blood-pressure gauge

A noninvasive estimation of central blood-pressure is required by the researchers or the medical practitioners in the cardiovascular field. Up to now, a simulation based approach has been pursued by many researchers and the practical results are obtained. As the progresses in the electrical engineering, the possibility that a wearable central blood-pressure gauge can be realized is increased. This study shows that the aorta model in the cardiovascular simulator can be equivalently transformed to the pressure transfer function and gives the feasibility of wearable central blood-pressure gauge.
