“…However, several points of the body must be exposed to place the electrodes, which is not practical in non-clinical settings. Recording impedance signals at various limb locations is easier as they are more accessible but needs electrode arrays for accurate positioning [12] or up to seven electrodes if the ECG and IPG are separately obtained [13].…”

This paper describes a novel method to estimate pulse arrival time (PAT) from the electrocardiogram (ECG) and the impedance plethysmogram (TPG) obtained by using a compact and easy-to-use handheld device with only four electrodes. A proof-of-concept has been carried out where PAT values obtained with the proposed device have been compared to PAT values measured between the ECG and the photoplethysmogram (PPG) during three experiments of paced respiration to induce controlled PAT changes. The results show that both methods yield equivalent PAT values in within ± 7 ms (95 % confidence interval), which is less than typical deviations reported for common PAT measurements.

“…Pressure-pulse waveforms for PTT measurements can be measured either directly by high-fidelity applanation tonometers [5], or indirectly by mechanotransducers [6], photoplethysmographs (PPG) [7], and impedance plethysmographs (IPG) [8]. The proximal and distal waveforms can be obtained either simultaneously [6] or sequentially [5] by using the R wave of the ECG as a timing reference.…”

“…The first studies and publications about impedance plethysmography appeared in 1988-1993. Impedance plethysmography was successfully used to register periodic, heart activity-dependent pulse-wave velocity in limbs [10]. Limb impedance shows peripheral vascular response to the quantity and velocity of circulating blood [11] and peripheral vascular resistance.…”
