Pressure Estimation in the Systemic Arteries Using a Transfer Function

Pressure Estimation in the Systemic Arteries Using a Transfer Function

The aim of this thesis is to develop and study a method for estimation of the pulse pressure in centrally located arteries. Obtaining the central pulse pressure is desirable for several reasons. For example, the central pulse pressure can be used to assess aortic stiffness, which in turn is an impor...
