Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The 24-h ambulatory systolic blood pressure (ASBP) recording has become a helpful tool in the diagnosis of hypertension and evaluation of the efficiency of anti-hypertensive drugs. Yet, the very high variability of ASBP makes the analysis of the recording rather difficult. A potential solution to reduce ASBP variability has been studied and is presented in this article. It consists of equipping the portable ASBP recorder device with other sensors, a three axes accelerometer and a heart rate recorder, so as to enable an analysis to be undertaken of the arterial pressure profile in the light of these concomitant data. A database has been collected, and a model linking ASBP variations with body acceleration and heart rate measurements is developed. Its performance is tested in prediction and the results compared with those obtained from one of the solutions currently used by physicians to deal with ASBP variability. The results obtained with 16 young subjects from the database, for whom two 24-h recordings are available, are significantly improved and very encouraging.
