Pulse wave analysis permits non-invasive assessment of arterial elasticity indices. The contour varies in different parts of the circulation. It depends on physiological or pathophysiological conditions of the organism. The pathological events like arteriosclerosis or diabetes have a primary effect to the artery elasticity. Hypertension or some heart diseases also influence the pulse wave velocity and resulted in earlier wave reflections. There are several methods of pulse wave measurements based on different principles and depending on the type of measured pulse wave. The evaluation parameters can be assessed from the time domain, derivations, velocity or frequency domain. The main aim of this review article is to offer a recent overview of pulse wave measurement parameters and main results obtained. The principles of pulse wave measurement and current experience in clinical practice are shortly discussed too.
脉搏波分析可对动脉弹性指标进行无创评估。其波形在循环系统的不同部位有所变化。它取决于机体的生理或病理生理状况。诸如动脉硬化或糖尿病等病理事件对动脉弹性有主要影响。高血压或某些心脏病也会影响脉搏波速度并导致波反射提前。基于不同原理且取决于所测脉搏波类型，有多种脉搏波测量方法。评估参数可从时域、导数、速度或频域进行评估。本文综述的主要目的是提供脉搏波测量参数及所得主要结果的近期概述。还简要讨论了脉搏波测量原理及临床实践中的当前经验。
