The necessity of real-time blood pressure estimation system rises especially for preparing sudden occurrence of an accident due to vascular disease or hypertension. However, the existing blood-pressure monitoring devices are mostly using a cuff method intermittently. This blood- pressure monitor is using a prevents the flow of blood, the measurement is difficult more than 5 times a day and the output vary depending on a patient's sitting position and position of a cuff. For the same reason, the false diagnosis often can happen because the result value differ from depending on the location or pressure of a cuff. With other blood pressure measurement, there is an invasive blood-pressure monitoring method to be placed directly inside a blood vessel. but, this method can impose the burden to the patient at each measurement as well as to the risk of bleeding and infection. Therefore, in this paper, complements the above method, to obtain the PWV with the MPG and secondly, Blood pressure estimation system was investigated by the correlation analysis between cuff blood-pressure and PWV.
PTT is required to estimate PWV. PTT implies the time difference between the reference point of pulse wave and R peaks of ECG. Using the inductor of the tank circuit of the Colpitts oscillator with the sensor coil so that the magnetic field was generated change with time.
Two sets of experiments were conducted for each subject in the protocol of 10 seconds rest, 30 seconds measurement of blood pressure(cuff), 30 seconds rest measured with a double set to determine the linear characteristics of the signal made by using the Valsalva breathing pressure displacement. As a result, the correlation coefficient of obtained in a time difference between the inflection point of MPG and R-peak of ECG and diastolic pressure measured by cuff blood pressure monitor is -0.8045 which denoted a linear relationship strong negative. For systolic blood pressure is -0.5576 which shows a linear relationship weak negative. The correlation coefficient of obtained in a time difference between the inflection point of MPG and R-peak of ECG and diastolic pressure measured by cuff blood pressure monitor is -0.7742 which showed a linear relationship strong negative. For systolic blood pressure is -0.5781 which showed a linear relationship weak negative. Removing the possibility of sudden changes in blood pressure and calculating the mean value of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and comparing with respectively. As a result, the correlation of the mean value of cuff blood pressure and is -0.8040, showed a linear relationship, strong negative. and the correlation of the mean value of cuff blood pressure and is -0.7933, also showed a linear relationship, strong negative. -0.7933. Inflection point of MPG is useful for PWV calculation and systolic BP, diastolic BP and mean BP showed that the correlation coefficient is high in this order.
