Abstract

Objectives : This study was performed to determine whether a pulse analyzer using array piezoresistive sensor was useful to characterize the variables of pulse wave of hypertentive patients (HT) , compared with those of healthy subjects. Methods : One hundred twenty two subjects participated in this study. Sixty nine subjects had hypertension and fifty three subjects had no specific history or disease associated with hypertension. We used automatic pulse analyzer with array piezoreslstive sensor. Results : Calibrated in Chon, no specific differences was between HT group and the healthy group. Calibrated in Gwan. sum of pulse pressure (SPP) of HT group was higher than that of the healthy group. Calibrated in Cheek, mean of height of main peak (Mm) and height of main peak (h1) of HT group were higher than those of the healthy group. Conclusions : Pulse analyzer was useful to determine the risk degree or development possibility of hypertension.
