| Abstract | Background In-vivo assessment of aortic characteristic impedance (Zao) and total arterial compliance (CT) has been hampered by the need for invasive methods to access simultaneous recordings of aortic pressure and flow, wall thickness, and cross-sectional area. In contrast, regional pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements are noninvasive and clinically available. Given that PWV is strongly related to aortic stiffness (1), we assume that carotid-to-femoral PWV (cfPWV) and carotid-to-radial PWV (crPWV) may contain sufficient information to evaluate the elasticity of the ascending aorta. Concretely, here, we present a noninvasive regression method for estimating Zao and CT using cuf pressure, cfPWV, and crPWV. Methods Gradient Boosting is employed for predicting Zao, and CT. The regressors are trained/tested using a pool of virtual subjects (n = 4833) generated from a previously validated in-silico model (2). The cross validation is performed using a 10-fold cross-validation (3).The population used has been previously generated (4) and reflects a wide range of hemodynamical properties and states. Results Predictions had a high accuracy (Figure) achieving a normalized-RMSE equal to 6.24 ± 1.19% (r = 0.85, p < 0.001) for Zao, and 4.38 ± 0.36% (r = 0.97, p < 0.001) for CT, respectively. High errors were reported for high values of Zao due to the limited amount of similar data. Conclusion The proposed approach constitutes a step forward to noninvasive screening of elastic vascular properties in human by exploiting easily obtained measurements. This study could introduce a valuable tool for assessing aortic stiffness reducing the cost and the complexity of the required measuring techniques. Clinical evaluation is required to validate the method in-vivo. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
