| Sumario: | Abstract Beat-to-beat R-R intervals (RRI) and pulse arrival time (PAT) provide pivotal information to evaluate cardiac autonomic functions for predicting arrhythmias and cardiovascular morbidity. However, their relationship has not been clearly understood. In this study, we simultaneously recorded electrocardiograms and photoplethysmograms on 34 subjects in the natural state, and on 55 subjects under the cold stimulation. The RRI and the PAT were calculated and then analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The results showed that the RRI and the PAT were strongly correlated (r = 0.562) and the RRI series were 2.18 ± 0.40 beats advanced to the PAT series. After smoothing, the RRI and the PAT were more correlated in the low frequency than in the high frequency. Furthermore, when involving RRI with the phase effect, the proposed PAT based model showed better performance for blood pressure estimation. We think these results are helpful to understand the underlying regulatory mechanisms of the two cardiovascular factors, and would provide useful suggestions for non-invasive cuffless blood pressure estimation. |
