Patient-specific pulse wave propagation model identifies cardiovascular risk characteristics in hemodialysis patients
Fig 3
Comparison of the model predicted and measured pressure profiles in radial artery.
Bars represent average model-predicted pressures at different measurement moments after 3- (A) and 2-day (B) interdialytic break. Shown are also inter-patient means and standard deviations for measurements (circles with whiskers) whereas standard deviation from the model is omitted for clarity. Asterisks indicate statistical difference at p-value < 0.05 calculated using paired sample t-Test. (C) Quality of the model approximation, i.e. average relative error between simulated and recorded radial pressure waveform, does not depend on the measurement moment.
