Arterial Pulse Waveform under the watch of Left Ventricular Ejection time: A physiological outlook

Abstract

The behavior of arterial pulse waves was studied in connection with time interval at different phases of propagation. The essence of the study was to have a clue about the incidence of the time of pulse wave propagation on cardio-vascular parameters. Model analysis shows that arterial waveforms behave like solitons. It was seen, from the soliton solution of the arterial pulse waveform, that time interval between the phases of propagation, which corresponds with left ventricular ejection time (LVET), could supply some information about apparent pathogenesis.
