Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with application date of December 31, 2020, application number 2020116420319, and invention name: Intravascular Pressure Measurement System. Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a reference acquisition method and a reference acquisition module for identifying a normal pressure value. Background Art

[0003] For many cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, vascular stenosis (such as vascular stenosis caused by vascular plaques) can affect blood supply and cause great harm to patients. Currently, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a relatively effective treatment for this type of disease. In traditional methods, doctors usually use coronary angiography to visually assess the degree of stenosis of stenosis to determine whether to perform interventional treatment. However, this traditional method makes it difficult for doctors to accurately assess the impact of stenosis on blood supply, which may lead to inappropriate treatment.

[0004] In recent years, in order to more accurately determine whether a patient truly requires interventional treatment, the use of Fractional Flow Reverse (FFR) to assess the impact of stenotic lesions on blood supply has been increasingly used and promoted. FFR is defined as the ratio of the maximum blood flow that can be obtained by the myocardial area supplied by a coronary artery in the presence of a stenotic lesion to the maximum blood flow that the same area can theoretically obtain under normal circumstances. To calculate the FFR of a given stenosis in a coronary artery, it is necessary to measure the mean pressure (Pd) on the distal side of the stenosis (e.g., downstream of the stenosis, away from the aorta) and the mean pressure (Pa) on the proximal side of the stenosis (e.g., upstream of the stenosis, close to the aorta).

[0005] Currently, intravascular pressure is typically measured by placing a pressure measuring device at a predetermined location within the blood vessel, for example, by measuring the mean pressure (Pd) distal to a stenosis, thereby measuring FFR. However, during these pressure measurements, the pressure measuring device may become attached to the vessel wall, potentially resulting in abnormal blood pressure signals. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present disclosure is proposed in view of the above-mentioned state of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a signal processing method for measuring intravascular pressure that can effectively reduce the adverse effects of signal abnormalities caused by wall adhesion.

[0007] To this end, the present disclosure provides a signal processing method for measuring intravascular pressure, characterized in that a pressure measuring device is used to perform pressure measurement at a predetermined position in a blood vessel at a predetermined sampling frequency to obtain a blood pressure signal sampling waveform including a plurality of cardiac cycles in which the intravascular pressure changes with time. Among the blood pressure signal sampling waveforms, a continuous periodic signal waveform including a predetermined number of cardiac cycles is selected to determine whether the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold value, and to determine whether the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold value. If the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than the first threshold value and the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than the second threshold value, then the method is calculated. Calculate the effective peak value and the effective valley value of the continuous cycle signal waveform, obtain the reference peak value and the reference valley value based on the effective peak value and the effective valley value, determine whether each pressure value in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform falls within the range of the reference peak value and the reference valley value, if the pressure value falls within the range, mark the pressure value as normal, and in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform, select a single-cycle signal waveform including one cardiac cycle, in the single-cycle signal waveform, if the ratio of the number of pressure values ​​marked as normal to the number of all pressure values ​​is not less than a third threshold value, then calculate the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single-cycle signal waveform based on the pressure value marked as normal in the single-cycle signal waveform.

[0008] In the signal processing method disclosed herein, a pressure measuring device is used to obtain a blood pressure signal sampling waveform within a blood vessel, including a temporal variation of intravascular pressure over multiple cardiac cycles. Reference peak and trough values ​​are obtained based on a continuous cycle signal waveform comprising a predetermined number of cardiac cycles. Normal pressure values ​​in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform are marked based on the reference peak and trough values. Furthermore, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to a single cycle signal waveform comprising one cardiac cycle is calculated based on the marked normal pressure values ​​in the single cycle signal waveform. In this case, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to a cardiac cycle is calculated based on the normal pressure values ​​in the cardiac cycle, thereby effectively reducing the adverse effects of signal abnormalities caused by wall adhesion.

[0009] In addition, the signal processing method of the present disclosure optionally further includes determining whether the ratio of the interval between adjacent peaks of the continuous period signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within a first interval, and determining whether the ratio of the interval between adjacent valleys of the continuous period signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within a second interval. If the ratio of the interval between adjacent peaks of the continuous period signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within the first interval and the ratio of the interval between adjacent valleys of the continuous period signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within the second interval, then calculating the effective peak value and effective valley value of the continuous period signal waveform. In this way, the effective peak value and effective valley value can be obtained more accurately.

[0010] In addition, in the signal processing method of the present disclosure, optionally, if the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is greater than the first threshold value or the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is greater than the second threshold value, the continuous periodic signal waveform is reselected. In this case, by determining the fluctuation of the peak value and the fluctuation of the valley value, a continuous periodic signal waveform that is more suitable for calculating the effective peak value and the effective valley value can be selected.

[0011] In addition, in the signal processing method of the present disclosure, optionally, if the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold value and the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold value, the effective peak value is the average value of the peak values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform, and the effective valley value is the average value of the valley values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform. Thus, the effective peak value and the effective valley value can be easily obtained through averaging calculation.

[0012] In addition, in the signal processing method of the present disclosure, the reference peak value is optionally obtained based on the effective peak value and the difference between the effective peak value and the effective valley value, and the reference valley value is optionally obtained based on the effective valley value and the difference between the effective peak value and the effective valley value. Thus, a reference range can be effectively set.

[0013] Furthermore, in the signal processing method of the present disclosure, optionally, if the ratio of the number of pressure values ​​marked as normal to the number of all pressure values ​​in the single-cycle signal waveform is not less than the third threshold, the average of all pressure values ​​marked as normal in the single-cycle signal waveform is used as the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single-cycle signal waveform. This allows for more accurate acquisition of the effective value of the intravascular pressure.

[0014] In addition, in the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure, optionally, in the single-cycle signal waveform, if the ratio of the number of pressure values ​​marked as normal to the number of all pressure values ​​is not less than the third threshold value, the cardiac cycle corresponding to the single-cycle signal waveform is marked as valid; if the ratio of the number of pressure values ​​marked as normal to the number of all pressure values ​​is less than the third threshold value, the cardiac cycle corresponding to the single-cycle signal waveform is marked as invalid.

[0015] In addition, in the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure, optionally, in the single-cycle signal waveform, if the ratio of the number of pressure values ​​marked as normal to the number of all pressure values ​​is less than the third threshold, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single-cycle signal waveform is obtained based on at least one cardiac cycle marked as valid that is closest to the single-cycle signal waveform.

[0016] In addition, in the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure, optionally, the pressure measuring device includes a pressure sensor for acquiring a blood pressure signal and a pushing tool for pushing the pressure sensor.

[0017] In addition, the present disclosure also provides an intravascular pressure measurement system, which uses the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure.

[0018] According to the present disclosure, the adverse effects of abnormal signals caused by wall adhesion during intravascular pressure measurement can be effectively reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] In various embodiments, a continuous cycle signal waveform including a predetermined number of cardiac cycles can be defined as a signal waveform corresponding to a continuous period of time in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform, where the continuous period of time can include a predetermined number of cardiac cycles (see Figure 5). In some examples, the predetermined number can be 1-12, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12.

[0063] In various embodiments, peak fluctuation can be defined as the relative change between adjacent peaks in a continuous periodic signal waveform. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the peaks in the continuous periodic signal waveform include a first peak P1, a second peak P2, and a third peak P3. The fluctuation between the first peak P1 and the second peak P2 can be defined as: In some examples, the first threshold can be 0.05 to 0.30, for example 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 021, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29 or 0.30.

[0065] In some examples, if the fluctuation of any adjacent peak values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold and the fluctuation of any adjacent valley values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold, then the effective peak value may be the average value or median value of the peak values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform. In some examples, if the fluctuation of the peak values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold and the fluctuation of the valley values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold, then the effective valley value may be the average value or median value of the valley values ​​of the continuous periodic signal waveform.

[0066] For example, Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, if the fluctuation of P1, P2, and P3 is not greater than the first threshold and the fluctuation of V1, V2, and V3 is not greater than the second threshold, then the effective peak value P eIt can be the average value of P1, P2, and P3 (i.e., ) or the median value of P1, P2, P3, effective valley value V e It can be the average value of V1, V2, and V3 (i.e., ) or the median value of V1, V2, and V3.

[0067] In some examples, the reference peak value can be obtained based on the effective peak value and the difference between the effective peak value and the effective valley value. In some examples, the reference peak value can be the sum of the effective peak value and the difference between the effective peak value and the effective valley value multiplied by the first factor f1. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the reference peak value P r =P e +(P e -V e )×f1.
