Abstract
An apparatus and method for non-invasive monitoring and detection of sudden changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics, in which a PPG signal is obtained from a patient, a time-frequency spectrum (TFS) is computed from the PPG signal, instantaneous modulations at a plurality of time points defining a curve of a prominent frequency of oscillation are extracted from the TFS, a peak power spectral density sequence is computed using the instantaneous modulations, and instantaneous peak values for following prominent frequency oscillations are monitored.
