Features: This book discusses the mechanisms of pulse wave generation and propagation in the human cardiovascular system, the extraction of pulse wave characteristic parameters and various physiological factors affecting them, as well as the clinical applications of various medical instruments developed based on pulse wave principles. The book is divided into nine chapters, with detailed discussions on the main characteristics of pulse waves and several major engineering analysis methods such as time-domain and frequency-domain methods, pulse wave model establishment and parameter estimation, and pulse wave simulation techniques. On this basis, it explores non-invasive blood flow parameter detection methods based on pulse wave principles, both static and dynamic. It compares the differences and connections between pressure pulse waves and volume pulse waves, as well as the principles of volume pulse wave monitoring for human blood oxygen, muscle oxygen, and brain oxygen, and their various clinical medical applications. The book emphasizes the clarification of concepts and principles, avoiding complex mathematical derivations as much as possible. The content covers the research frontiers of this field and also includes the author's many years of research achievements in this area.
