Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring can produce a significant amount of digital data, which increases the chance of early diagnosis and improve the rate of survival for people diagnosed with hypertension and Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Howe...
Assessment of the volume status by blood pressure (BP) monitoring is difficult, since baroreflex control of BP makes it insensitive to blood loss up to about one liter. We hypothesized that a machine learning model recognizes the progression of centr...

In heart failure patients, hemodynamics can be regulated by therapeutic drugs. Although the cardiovascular responses to these drugs usually include nonlinearity and drug interactions, it is difficult to identify the characteristics of the dynamics un...
OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is among the leading causes of morbidity, mortality, and cost overruns in critically ill patients. Early intervention with antibiotics improves survival in septic patients. However, no clinically validated system exists for real-ti...

Korotkoff sounds are known to change their characteristics during blood pressure (BP) measurement, resulting in some uncertainties for systolic and diastolic pressure (SBP and DBP) determinations. The aim of this study was to assess the variation of ...

OBJECTIVE: Arterial stiffness refers to arterial wall rigidity, particularly developing in central vessels. Arterial stiffness increases in early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all cause mortali...

We set out to use machine learning techniques to analyse ECG data to improve risk evaluation of cardiovascular disease in a very large cohort study of the Chinese population. We performed this investigation by (i) detecting "abnormality" using 3 one-...
