Towards Pulse Wave Velocity Estimation Using Specific ECG and PPG Algorithms

The presented article details the design and evaluation of specific algorithms used for pulse wave velocity estimation. We chose to analyze both the ECG and PPG signals in order to estimate the time delay between the time when the blood is ejected into the aorta and the time when the pulse wave arrives to the point where the PPG probe is placed. Algorithms for the detection of R-waves in ECG signal and detection of slope beginnings in PPG signal were used.
