Abstract :


In this paper, we propose a new and low-complexity algorithm for the Pulse transit time (PTT) measurement. The (PTT) is a physiological parameter that is based on characteristics of the pulse waveform, a direct indicator of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD). It is commonly derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal calculations. The pulse transit time (PTT) is defined as the time taken for the arterial pulse to travel from the heart to a peripheral site and is calculated as the interval between the peak of the electrocardiogram (ECG) R-wave and a time point on the photoplethysmogram (PPG). This study aimed to develop a new algorithm for (PTT) estimation, using these two signals and detecting (PTT- foot) and (PTT- peak). We built a 37 subjects dataset containing a simultaneous recording of the (ECG) and (PPG). The calculation of (PTT) consists of detecting the peak and foot points of a (PPG) and the R peak of the (ECG) signal. Intermediate operations such as normalization and thresholding are processed on noisy signals, this algorithm is improved by a windowing temporal analysis. The obtained results are promising for the first step. The average sensitivity (SEN) and accuracy (ACC) obtained were (97.5%, and 96.82%) respectively for R-peaks detection and respectively (97.77%, and 97.64%) for (PPG-peak) detection. The sensitivity (SEN) and accuracy (ACC) of (PPG- foot) detection were (98.33%, and 94.14%).
