Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 電機工程學系 === 98 === In this study, we propose an easy-to-use noninvasive arterial stiffness assessment instrument that can be used to record the radial arterial pressure signals from the wrist. The system combines the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) algorithm with the signals to derive a modified reflection index (MRI) and modified stiffness index (MSI). The performance of MRI and MSI was verified based on 46 subjects (35 men and 11 women, 20 to 27 years of age). Early self-monitoring of cardiovascular dysfunction and arterial stiffness can be easily and effectively achieved by MRI and MSI. Only few minutes are needed for conducting at home.
