Key result
Disposable air-compressed pump simultaneously quantifies blood pressure and RBC aggregation via PI and AI indices.
Why the study?
A method to simultaneously quantify blood pressure and RBC aggregation using aggregation-enhanced and deformability-reduced blood samples was needed.
A novel method using a disposable air-compressed pump can simultaneously measure blood pressure and red blood cell aggregation in blood samples.
Enables concurrent BP and RBC aggregation assessment in animal models; leaves open human validation before clinical research use.
) is effectively used to estimate blood pressure. Finally, the variations in blood pressure and RBC aggregation are obtained by using aggregation-enhanced blood samples and deformability-reduced blood samples. Thus, the proposed method leads to consistent variations in the PI and AI, when compared with the previous results. The experimental demonstrations indicate that two indices (PI and AI) are effectively used to simultaneously quantify blood pressure and RBC aggregation.
