| dc.description.abstract | Cardiovascular conditions are a significant
cause of death globally, with millions of deaths annually
worldwide. To evaluate cardiovascular conditions
effectively, the analysis of the arterial pulse wave can be a
convenient approach. Radial pulse waves can give more
information on cardiovascular function including blood
vessel property changes, respiration alterations, and
autonomic nerve access. In recent years, a considerable
amount of work has been done on the modernization of the
use of pulse diagnosis technology which has utilized the
available modern technologies. Pressure sensors are
common in the detection of pulsatile changes in arterial
pressure. Piezoelectric sensors directly convert the pressure
signals (mechanical vibrations) into electrical signals as
they are sensitive to pressure. Due to their super
performance abilities and compatibility with signal
processing methods, piezoelectric sensors are one of the
choices for capturing radial pulse signals in research setups.
The radial pulse wave is mostly used to determine blood
pressure, blood flow, arterial stiffness, heart rate, left
ventricular stroke volume, systemic vascular resistance, and
vascular compliance. Additionally, different estimators,
which are used in arterial pulse analysis, and other
approaches like Doppler ultrasonography and radionuclide
angiography, estimate cardiac output. This review article
explores the advancements in determining Cardiac Output
through Radial pulse using Piezoelectric sensors. | en_US |
