Validation of New and Existing Decision Rules for the Estimation of Beat-to-Beat Pulse Transit Time

Pulse transit time (PTT) is a pivotal marker of vascular stiffness. Because the actual PTT duration in vivo is unknown and the complicated variation in waveform may occur, the robust determination of characteristic point is still a very difficult task in the PTT estimation. Our objective is to devis...
