Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application with application number 2020116420319, titled "Intravascular pressure measurement system", and filed on December 31, 2020. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to a blood pressure monitoring system and a signal processing method. BACKGROUND

[0003] For many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, the stenosis of blood vessels (e.g., caused by blood vessel plaques) affects blood supply, which brings great harm to patients. At present, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a relatively effective treatment for such diseases. In the traditional method, doctors usually visually estimate the stenosis degree of the stenosis lesion by coronary angiography to determine whether to perform intervention treatment. However, this traditional method is difficult to help doctors accurately assess the degree of influence of the stenosis lesion on blood supply, which may lead to improper treatment.

[0004] In recent years, in order to more accurately determine whether a patient truly needs to perform intervention treatment, the degree of influence of the stenosis lesion on blood supply is increasingly applied and promoted based on the Fractional Flow Reverse (FFR). FFR is defined as the ratio of the maximum blood flow that the myocardial region supplied by the coronary artery with the stenosis lesion can obtain to the maximum blood flow that the same region can obtain under normal circumstances. In order to calculate the FFR of a given stenosis in the coronary artery, the average pressure (Pd) on the distal side of the stenosis (e.g., downstream of the stenosis, away from the aorta) and the average pressure (Pa) on the proximal side of the stenosis (e.g., upstream of the stenosis, close to the aorta) need to be measured respectively.

[0005] At present, a pressure measuring instrument is usually used to measure the pressure in the blood vessel at a predetermined position in the blood vessel, such as measuring the average pressure (Pd) on the distal side of the stenosis, so as to measure the FFR. However, in the above pressure measurement process, the phenomenon of the pressure measuring instrument adhering to the wall may occur, which may cause abnormality of the measured blood pressure signal. SUMMARY

[0006] The present disclosure is proposed in view of the above-mentioned prior art, and aims to provide a signal processing method for intravascular pressure measurement, which can effectively reduce the adverse effects of signal abnormality caused by adhesion.

[0007] To this end, the present disclosure provides a signal processing method for intravascular pressure measurement, which is characterized in that, a pressure measurement is performed at a predetermined position in a blood vessel by a pressure measurement instrument at a predetermined sampling frequency to obtain a blood pressure signal sampling waveform of the intravascular pressure varying with time, the blood pressure signal sampling waveform comprises a plurality of cardiac cycles, a continuous cycle signal waveform comprising a predetermined number of cardiac cycles is selected from the blood pressure signal sampling waveform, it is determined whether the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold value, and it is determined whether the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold value, if the fluctuation of the peak value of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than the first threshold value and the fluctuation of the valley value of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than the second threshold value, the effective peak value and the effective valley value of the continuous cycle signal waveform are calculated, the reference peak value and the reference valley value are obtained based on the effective peak value and the effective valley value, it is determined 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, the pressure value is marked as normal, a single cycle signal waveform comprising one cardiac cycle is selected from the blood pressure signal sampling waveform, and 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 a third threshold value, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single cycle signal waveform is calculated based on the pressure values marked as normal in the single cycle signal waveform.

[0008] In the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure, the blood pressure signal sampling waveform of the intravascular pressure varying with time is obtained in the blood vessel by a pressure measurement instrument, the reference peak value and the reference valley value are obtained based on the continuous cycle signal waveform comprising a predetermined number of cardiac cycles, and the pressure values normal in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform are marked based on the reference peak value and the reference valley value, and then the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single cycle signal waveform is calculated based on the pressure values normal in the single cycle signal waveform comprising one cardiac cycle. In this case, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to one cardiac cycle is calculated based on the pressure values normal in the cardiac cycle, thereby effectively reducing the adverse effects of signal abnormalities caused by adhesion.

[0009] In addition, in the signal processing method involved in the present disclosure, optionally, it further comprises determining whether the ratio of the interval of adjacent peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within a first interval, and determining whether the ratio of the interval of adjacent valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within a second interval, if the ratio of the interval of adjacent peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within the first interval and the ratio of the interval of adjacent valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls within the second interval, the effective peak value and the effective valley value of the continuous cycle signal waveform are calculated. In this way, the effective peak value and the effective valley value can be more accurately obtained.

[0010] In addition, in the signal processing method, 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 re-selected. In this case, by judging the fluctuation of the peak value and the fluctuation of the valley value, a continuous periodic signal waveform more suitable for calculating the effective peak value and the effective valley value can be selected.

[0011] In addition, in the signal processing method, optionally, 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, the effective peak value is the average of the peak values of the continuous periodic signal waveform, and the effective valley value is the average of the valley values of the continuous periodic signal waveform. Thus, by averaging calculation, the effective peak value and the effective valley value can be easily obtained.

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

[0013] In addition, in the signal processing method, optionally, in the single-period 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 average of all pressure values marked as normal in the single-period signal waveform is used as the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single-period signal waveform. Thus, the effective value of the intravascular pressure can be more accurately obtained.

[0014] In addition, in the signal processing method, optionally, in the single-period 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-period signal waveform is marked as effective, and 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-period signal waveform is marked as ineffective.

[0015] In addition, in the signal processing method, optionally, in the single-period 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 value, the effective value of the intravascular pressure corresponding to the single-period signal waveform is obtained based on at least one cardiac cycle marked as effective closest to the single-period signal waveform.

[0016] In addition, in the signal processing method according to the present disclosure, the pressure measuring instrument can include a pressure sensor for acquiring a blood pressure signal and a pushing tool for pushing the pressure sensor.

[0017] Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides an intravascular pressure measuring system using the signal processing method according to the present disclosure.

Specifically, given that the blood pressure signal obtained by the pressure sensor 21 comprises pressure information and time information, the waveform shaping module 33 can establish a coordinate system with time as the horizontal axis and pressure as the vertical axis, and label the blood pressure signal obtained by the pressure sensor 21 (e.g., the blood pressure signal at the stenosis distal side S dcorresponding to the blood pressure signal) to form a blood pressure signal sampling waveform of pressure change over time comprising a plurality of cardiac cycles (see Figure 4 ).

[0057] In some examples, the signal processor 30 can further comprise a reference obtaining module 34. The reference obtaining module 34 can obtain a reference peak value and a reference valley value based on the blood pressure signal sampling waveform.

[0058] The reference obtaining module 34 obtaining the reference peak value and the reference valley value can comprise: selecting a continuous cycle signal waveform comprising a predetermined number of cardiac cycles in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform; judging whether a fluctuation of the peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than a first threshold value; judging whether a fluctuation of the valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than a second threshold value; if the fluctuation of the peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than the first threshold value and the fluctuation of the valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is not greater than the second threshold value, calculating effective peak values and effective valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform; obtaining the reference peak value and the reference valley value based on the effective peak values and the effective valley values.

[0059] In various embodiments, if the fluctuation of the peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is greater than the first threshold value or the fluctuation of the valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform is greater than the second threshold value, the continuous cycle signal waveform comprising the predetermined number of cardiac cycles can be reselected in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform.

[0060] In some examples, the reference obtaining module 34 obtaining the reference peak value and the reference valley value can further comprise: judging whether a ratio of an interval of adjacent peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to a cardiac cycle falls into a first interval, for example, 0.8-1.2; judging whether a ratio of an interval of adjacent valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to a cardiac cycle falls into a second interval, for example, 0.8-1.2; if the ratio of the interval of any adjacent peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls into the first interval and the ratio of the interval of any adjacent valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle falls into the second interval, calculating the effective peak values and the effective valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform; if the ratio of the interval of any adjacent peak values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle does not fall into the first interval or the ratio of the interval of any adjacent valley values of the continuous cycle signal waveform to the cardiac cycle does not fall into the second interval, reselecting the continuous cycle signal waveform comprising the predetermined number of cardiac cycles.

[0061] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing a continuous cycle signal waveform involved in the examples of the present disclosure.

[0062] In various embodiments, the continuous cycle signal waveform comprising the predetermined number of cardiac cycles can be defined as a signal waveform corresponding to a continuous time in the blood pressure signal sampling waveform, and the continuous time can comprise the 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.

[0064] In various embodiments, the fluctuation of valley values ​​can be defined as the relative change between adjacent valley values ​​in a continuous periodic signal waveform. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the valley values ​​in the continuous periodic signal waveform include a first valley value V1, a second valley value V2, and a third valley value V3. The fluctuation between the first valley value V1 and the second valley value V2 can be defined as: In some examples, the second 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, 0.21, 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.
