Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the research was to test the method of complex multi-stage analysis of the contour of photoplethysmograms using variational statistics and Fourier analysis of blood filling and arterial tone indicators in conditions of long-term monitoring of the functional state of regional blood circulation.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Using a multichannel photoplethysmograph developed by the team of authors, a survey was conducted of healthy young people aged 17–20 years. Photoplethysmograms were recorded for 180 s. Using the technology of neural networks, we determined the special points of each pulse cycle necessary for calculating the indices of blood circulation in the limb. The amplitude indicators of pulse cycles were studied by variational-statistical methods similar to methods for analyzing the duration of cardio intervals used to assess heart rate variability. In conclusion, the Fourier spectrum of the amplitude parameters of photoplethysmograms was calculated to study the frequency characteristics of variability of vascular tone.

Findings: The high informativeness of the variational-statistical analysis in combination with the Fourier analysis of the parameters of the contour of the pulse curves for the study of inspiratory-expiratory variability of the reflection index of photoplethysmograms characterizing the tone of the resistive arteries of the human limbs is shown.

Originality/Value: A variational-statistical analysis of the parameters of the photoplethysmogram contour in combination with their harmonic analysis can significantly improve the accuracy of studies of respiratory and non-respiratory fluctuations of regional vascular tone and can be used in the functional diagnosis of pathology of the cardiovascular system, accompanied by impaired regulation of peripheral circulation.
