models are increasingly used to investigate functional and cardiovascular
parameters. In this work we present an approach to noninvasively estimate the
arterial pulse pressure by measuring the time dependant blood flow pulse and
the local pulse wave velocity. By determining
the complex impedance with solutions from the Navier-Stokes equations for
incompressible fluids, the pressure pulse could be calculated from the
accordant flow pulse. The present results are in good agreement with results
from the literature obtained by invasive methods.
