Frequency response of a blood pressure pulse to small change in the waveform's time constant

Abstract

The authors investigate how the magnitude of the frequency response of a blood pressure pulse decreases in one of the waveform's time constant. The amplitude of the first ten harmonics, especially, is addressed. Graphical representations of the investigation are included. The magnitude of the derivatives of the harmonics' amplitude with respect to the time constant of the ascending part of the waveform is plotted.<>
