METHOD FOR DETERMINING ADEQUATE VALUES OF PULSE-WAVE VELOCITY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: blood pressure is measured according to the standard procedure on the brachial artery by means of the Riva Rocci Korotkoff sphygmomanometer. The vegetative status is assessed by the rest heart rate variability parameters. The endothelial vasomotor function is described as a percentage measure of a resistance index after inhalation of Salbutamol 400 mcg, an endothelium-dependent vasodilator as related to a basal resistance index by photoplethysmography. The derived data are used to determine an adequate basal pulse wave velocity and a pulse wave velocity following the sublingual administration of nitroglycerin 500 mcg, for each patient individually by original formulas.

EFFECT: method enables providing the more accurate determination of the adequate basal pulse wave velocities and the pulse wave velocity following the administration of nitroglycerin taking into account the vegetative status.
