Abstract
A method for determining a cardiac function, comprising (i) determining base anatomical characteristics associated with the subject, (ii) determining pulse delay to a first body site (PD) and a second body site (PD) as a function of the anatomical characteristics, wherein the distance via the arterial tree from the aortic valve to the first body site (PD) is different than the arterial tree distance from the aortic valve to the second body site (PD), (iii) determining pulse wave velocity between the first body site and the second body site (PWV), (iv) determining pulse wave velocity between the aortic valve and the first body site (PWV) as a function of PWV, and the anatomical characteristics; and (v) determining the pre-ejection period (PEP) as a function of PDand PWV.
