Fiducial Points

The following fiducial points are identified on pulse waves:

Fiducial Point Procedure
a tbc
b tbc
c tbc
d tbc
e tbc
s tbc
dia tbc
dic tbc
p1pk tbc
p1in tbc
p2pk tbc
p2in tbc
ms tbc

The following values are provided for each fiducial point:

  • The index of the fiducial point in the signal.
  • The amplitude of the pulse wave (or, if appropriate, one of its derivatives) at this fiducial point
  • The normalised amplitude (which is the above amplitude, divided by the trough-peak amplitude of the pulse wave)
  • The timing of the fiducial point (time since this pulse wave's onset)
