[A new method to extract time-frequency characteristics of hypertension pathological signal based on pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution].

Hypertension, as one of diseases with the highest incidence in the world at present, is an important cause of stroke, coronary heart disease, renal insufficiency and other serious diseases. Based on pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution, this paper makes an analysis on the relevant pulse characteristics by measuring time range of the energy concentration circle. In view of the present situation, that is, about half of the high-normal blood pressure persons are likely to develop hypertension, we explored the pulse characteristics to find the pathological changes in subjects with prehypertension, in order to solve the problems that there are no obvious clinical significant features in prehypertension. The results showed that the duration of high energy circle in signal with hypertension pathological changes was shorter than the duration of healthy signal. Hence, healthy signal and hypertension pathological signal can be effectively distinguished by this method, and this provides a new basis to identify the lesion signal when blood pressure is in critical period.
