This study describes a modified photoplethysmography (PPG) signal processing and analysis procedure to obtain a more reliable arterial stiffness index (SI). The parameters used successfully detect low-quality PPG signals, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent evaluation of cardiovascular-related disease and clinical risk stratification.
Objective. This study aimed to describe a modified photoplethysmography (PPG) signal processing and analysis procedure to obtain a more reliable arterial stiffness index (SI). Approach. Three parameters were used to assess the PPG signal quality without prominent diastolic waves, which are similar to a sinusoidal waveform shape. The first parameter, sinusoidal ratio (S-value), was based on frequency-domain analysis: a higher S-value indicated the presence of PPG pulse wave with unapparent diastolic peak. The second parameter was the time difference between systolic peak-to-diastolic peak and the systolic peak-to-dicrotic notch. The third parameter was the percentage of sin-like waveform in the PPG signals. The applicability of these parameters was demonstrated in 40 participants, including 11 with apparent diastolic peaks in the PPG signals and 29 with unapparent diastolic peaks. Main results. An S-value of >3.5 indicated apparent diastolic peaks in the PPG signals. In addition, a systolic peak-to-diastolic peak time difference >80% and a sin-like waveform >55% may be associated with severity of vascular aging. Significance. These parameters successfully detected low-quality PPG signals with unapparent diastolic waveform before SI calculation, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent evaluation of cardiovascular-related disease and clinical risk stratification.
