Scientific Studies

group-of-doctors-nurses-discussing-document_573x300The use of the Digital Pulsewave Analyzer is well established and supported by extensive medical study.

Here are some of the reports that cover the Scientific background for the Meridian Digital Pulse Analyzer.

1.Digital Photoplethysmography for Assessment of Arterial Stiffness: Repeatability and Comparison with Applanation Tonometry.

by Emma von Wowern, Gerd Östling, Peter M. Nilsson and Per Olofsson.

This report covers the use, validity and reliability of the use of Photoplethysmography in measuring arterial stiffness and also compares Photoplethysmography to older methods of examining the arterial pulse wave.

2. Breakthrough in Clinical Cardiology: In-Office Assessment with Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and Digital Pulse Analysis (DPA)

by Brian Scott Peskin, BSEE, with Robert Jay Rowen, MD

This article explores an exciting, noninvasive, easy-to-use, and economical method of assessing patients’ cardiovascular physiologic status that is backed by more than 25 years of advanced research in medical physics. A 2007 Clinical Medicine article points the way to better clinical treatment of CVD, stating: “Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an accepted strong, independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality.”
