Abstract

In this work, we discuss an algorithm that reliable and accurately identifies the prominent points of the cardiac cycle: the systolic peak (SP), reflection point (RP), dicrotic notch, (DN) and dicrotic peak (DP). The prominent point’s identifier algorithm (PPIA) action is based on the analysis a number of features of the arterial pressure waveform and its first derivative, and is part of the fundamental software analysis pack for a new piezoelectric probe designed to reproduce the arterial pressure waveform from the pulsatile activity taken non-invasively at the vicinity of a superficial artery. The output PPIA is the coordinates (in time and amplitude) of the above referred points. To assess the accuracy of the algorithm, a reference database of 173 pulses from eight volunteers, was established and the values yielded by the PPIA were compared to annotations from a human expert engineer (HEE). The quality of the results is statistically quantified either in time as in amplitude. Average values of 4.20% for error, 99.09% for sensitivity and 96.77% for positive predictive value were found to be associated to time information while amplitude yields averages of 2.68%, 99.08% and 98.22%, respectively, for the same parameters.
