Vascular disease examining system and bypass vascular diagnosing device
View Patent ↗Disclosed are a vascular disease examination system capable of examining and diagnosing vascular diseases such as arterial obliteration by determining the feature quantities of blood flow velocity waveforms or blood pressure waveforms or blood flow rates, and a bypass vascular diagnosing system. A blood flow velocity or blood pressure at a target location of the body is measured A waveform analysis unit 4 determines the feature quantity of a blood flow waveform (or blood pressure waveform), for displaying on an output unit 5 . The feature quantity includes a time constant, Fourier transform value, differentiated value, integrated value, rise/fall time, and sharpness or gradient of rise. Feature quantity of a blood flow velocity waveform (or blood pressure waveform) indicated in numeric value enables a correct examination/diagnosis.
1. A vascular disease examination system, comprising:
an equivalent constant calculation means for calculating blood vessel equivalent constants defining a relationship between blood flow velocity and blood pressure based on a blood flow velocity waveform signal and a blood pressure waveform signal output from a measurement system, which measures blood flow velocity values and blood pressure values, and
a dynamic blood vessel condition calculation means for calculating blood flow velocity values under a virtual blood pressure condition, in which a load is exerted on a blood vessel using the equivalent constants to find a dynamic blood vessel condition.
2. A bypass vascular diagnosing system, comprising:
an equivalent constant calculation means for calculating bypass blood vessel equivalent constants defining a relationship between blood flow velocity and blood pressure based on a blood flow velocity waveform signal and a blood pressure waveform signal output from a measurement system, which measures blood flow velocity values and blood pressure values, and
a dynamic bypass vascular condition calculation means for calculating the blood flow velocity values under a virtual blood pressure condition, in which a load is exerted on a bypass blood vessel using the equivalent constants to find a dynamic bypass vascular condition.
