Pulse Wave Database: version submitted for peer review

This provides a link to the version of the Pulse Wave Database which was made available through PhysioNet for the purposes of peer review.This database of simulated arterial pulse waves is designed to be representative of a sample of pulse waves measured from healthy adults. It will contain pulse waves for 4,374 virtual subjects, aged from 25-75 years old (in 10 year increments). The database will contain a baseline set of pulse waves for each of the six age groups, which was created using cardiovascular properties (such as heart rate and arterial stiffness) which are representative of healthy subjects at each age group. It will also contain 728 further virtual subjects at each age group, in which each of the cardiovascular properties are varied within normal ranges. This allows for extensive <i>in silico</i> analyses of the performance of pulse wave analysis algorithms.
