Abstract :
We inspected the relationship between cardiovascular disease and clinical pulse wave data. The pulse wave data were collected from the Department of Cardiology at Shandong Provincial Hospital by infrared light pulse wave sensor. Based on the risk factors, Stiffness Index (SI) and Cardiac Output (CO) are utilized as the characteristics to detect cardiovascular disease. The results show a close relationship between cardiovascular disease and the derived pulse wave characteristics.
