Abstract

The paper presents the results of studying the rigidity indices of great arteries, namely the time of pulse transit time (PTT), dp/dt, which were obtained as a result of processing the 24-hour monitoring data using a portable register BPLab. A stable negative correlation between the PTT index and systolic, diastolic, and pulse BP and heart rate in the 24-h dynamics was revealed. The possibility of using the PWP index calculated on the basis of the data of monitoring BP using BPLab MnSDP-3 as an additional rigidity index of great arteries while making clinical and physiological studies was proved.

Keywords
