Arterial Blood Pressure Processing

This chapter contains descriptions of (1) signal processing techniques for the analysis of data derived from devices providing a discontinuous measure of blood pressure, (2) techniques for the analysis of continuous arterial blood pressure recordings, (3) the main methods for the analysis of blood pressure variability, and (4) techniques for the estimation of the baroreflex function from the analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of blood pressure and heart rate. Keywords: arterial blood pressure; blood pressure variability; autonomic control of circulation; baroreflex; spectral analysis; mathematical modeling of circulation; heart rate variability; pulse contour
