Abstract
A theoretical analysis of the literature data on the pulse-wave propagation velocity using a combination of electrocardiographic and photoplethysmographic signals was carried out. Its diagnostic value in medical practice lies in its use as a noninvasive method for measuring blood pressure, as well as for determining arterial stiffness. Some studies have shown a relationship between the velocity of pulse-wave propagation and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Pulse-wave propagation velocity is an early marker and predictor of cardiovascular risk in both people with normal blood pressure and people with hypertension; it is used as the “gold standard” in determining arterial stiffness; however, the issue of accuracy and automation of measuring the pulse-wave propagation velocity remains unresolved.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
