Variation of peripheral pulse transit time with internal vascular pressure changes induced by arm movement

Pulse transit time (PTT) and blood pressure (BP) are widely used to quantify arterial characteristics. Arm position influences arterial BP and peripheral PTT. This study aims to quantify the relationship between PTT changes with internal vascular pressure variations induced by the arm moving. With l...

description Pulse transit time (PTT) and blood pressure (BP) are widely used to quantify arterial characteristics. Arm position influences arterial BP and peripheral PTT. This study aims to quantify the relationship between PTT changes with internal vascular pressure variations induced by the arm moving. With left arm at horizontal position as reference and the right arm moving from 90 to 45, 0, −45, and −90° respectively, PTT difference was calculated by the difference of the pulse foot between right arm and left arm within the same heartbeat. The change in the BP was calculated from the gravitational effect with the measured arm length. Our results showed that the change in PTT with arm elevating is more obvious than that with arm lowering, indicating the different relationship between PTT changes due to the internal BP changes. This can help in understanding the inherent physiological/pathological mechanism of cardiovascular system.
