Abstract
Disclosed herein is a framework for facilitating patient signal analysis. In accordance with one aspect, the framework receives signal data including mechanical signal data, wherein the mechanical signal data is generated in response to mechanical contraction of blood vessels. A region of interest is segmented from the mechanical signal data. One or more mechanical signal ratios may be determined based on parameters extracted from the segmented region of interest to characterize waveform changes. A report may then be generated based at least in part on the one or more mechanical signal ratios.
