[论文解读] Feature Exploration for Knowledge-guided and Data-driven Approach Based Cuffless Blood Pressure Measurement
本研究提出了一组扩展的222个基于心电图(ECG)和光电容积脉搏波(PPG)的特征,以通过知识引导与数据驱动模型提升无袖带血压(BP)估算的准确性。研究发现,脉搏波在半最大幅度处的宽度(PWFM)是收缩压和平均血压最强的预测因子,而dPPG至sdPPG的振幅以及R波至sdPPG的时序关系则对舒张压和脉压最为相关,显著提升了连续、无创血压监测的准确性。
This study explores extended feature space that is indicative of blood pressure (BP) changes for better estimation of continuous BP in an unobtrusive way. A total of 222 features were extracted from noninvasively acquired electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals with the subject undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention, during which intra-arterial BP was recorded simultaneously with the subject at rest and while administering drugs to induce BP variations. The association between the extracted features and the BP components, i.e. systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean BP (MBP), and pulse pressure (PP) were analyzed and evaluated in terms of correlation coefficient, cross sample entropy, and mutual information, respectively. Results show that the most relevant indicator for both SBP and MBP is the pulse full width at half maximum, and for DBP and PP, the amplitude between the peak of the first derivative of PPG (dPPG) to the valley of the second derivative of PPG (sdPPG) and the time interval between the peak of R wave and the sdPPG, respectively. As potential inputs to either the knowledge-guided model or data-driven method for cuffless BP calibration, the proposed expanded features are expected to improve the estimation accuracy of cuffless BP.
