ABSTRACT: In this research, we have performed pulse analysis on
the data of 127 subjects collected from Department of Cardiology at Shandong Provincial
Hospital in China. By taking the first and third derivatives of an entire pulse
wave, we have firstly identified the locations of wave foot, systolic peak, and
reflected point. Then we calculated Reverse Shoulder Index (RSI) and Ratio of
Distance of the evaluated subjects, and correlated them to age, the history of
hypertension, and different cardiovascular diseases of the subjects.
