Abstract
A method for estimating a measure of cardiovascular health of a subject () comprises: receiving () an electrocardiogram, ECG, signal (); receiving () an artery signal () representative of pressure pulse wave propagation at a location in an artery; determining () a fiducial point in time based on the ECG signal () providing an indication of onset of isovolumetric contraction; determining () a pre-systolic pressure pulse arrival point in time () based on the artery signal () to correspond to the onset of the isovolumetric contraction being reflected in the artery signal (), determining () a time period between the onset of the isovolumetric contraction and the pre-systolic pressure pulse arrival point in time, said time period representing a vascular transit time; and determining () a pulse wave velocity of the subject () based on a physical distance between an aortic valve and the location in the artery and on the vascular transit time.
