Blood pressure (BP) is a vital sign, and its measurement is a standard clinical procedure. Blood pressure is typically represented with two numbers: systolic blood pressure (SYS) and diastolic blood pressure (DIA). These numbers describe the pulsatile nature of BP - SYS denoting the maximum, and DIA the minimum pressure during a heartbeat. This means that there is a physiological SYS and DIA during each heartbeat.

When viewing results in the Pulsewave Software or on the Pulsewave website, you may notice that there is a ± value reported next to the blood pressure data. This value is known as the confidence interval (CI). The CI is the interval where the result is expected to be. Another way of looking at this is that the CI indicates the reliability of the reading to produce a result with the least amount of variability. It must be noted that CI is not a measurement of a degree of error, nor is it a reflection of the accuracy of the result. It is a measurement of uncertainty.

Total Anomaly Score (TAS) indicates seven different pulse characteristics found in the pulse waveform and reports them in a statical manner as a percentage of occurrences within the waveform. This information may be used by a medical professional as a screening aid in further diagnosing arrhythmia, a cardiovascular condition in which the normal rhythm of the heartbeat is interrupted.

Pulse rate (PR) is a vital sign, and its measurement is a standard clinical procedure. It is typically measured as the average number of pulses that occur per minute. This is the Average Pulse Rate (APR), and is expressed in units of /min – pulses per minute. PR is usually regular in nature; however, there are beat-to-beat variations. This change in the PR, called Pulse Rate Variability (PRV), is measured as the standard deviation of the beat-to-beat variations, and is expressed as a percentage of the APR. These two measures of PR are displayed as part of the results for each Pulsewave reading.

Average Breathing Rate (ABR) Breathing rate is a vital sign and is usually measured at rest by counting the number of breaths within a minute. The average number of breaths per minute is the breathing rate average, and is expressed in units of /min - breaths per minute. This is displayed as part of the results for each Pulsewave reading.

A Pulse Waveform is also called a sphygmogram. A sphygmogram isn't an ECG, but they are related.

Heart rate is typically measured based on heart sounds via auscultation, or based on the heart's electrical activity via electrocardiography. Pulse rate, on the other hand, is typically measured based on tactile feedback via palpation; blood volume changes via photoplethysmography; or based on changes in cuff pressure during BP measurement. These changes in cuff pressure occur as the pressure wave, which travels through the arterial system, causes a displacement of the arterial walls that is transferred to the cuff. This results in the pulse waveform that is displayed during each Pulsewave reading. The measures of PR, PRA and PRV, are then measured from this waveform.
