Key result
A novel parametric pulse arrival time estimator (TANH) demonstrated high correlation with the Complior characteristic point D1 (CC = 0.99) and reduced the required heartbeats by a five-fold factor.

Does a parametric PAT estimator improve the reliability of pulse wave velocity measurements compared to characteristic point identification?
Effect estimate: CC 0.99
A novel parametric estimator for pulse arrival time improves noise robustness and reduces the data required for reliable pulse wave velocity measurement in ambulatory settings.
Solà et al. (2009) studied this question. Parametric PAT estimator (TANH) vs. Characteristic points identification was evaluated on Correlation with Complior(R) characteristic point D1 (CC 0.99). A novel parametric pulse arrival time estimator (TANH) demonstrated high correlation with the Complior characteristic point D1 (CC = 0.99) and reduced the required heartbeats by a five-fold factor.
