Definitions of characteristic APV parameters.

ParametersMeaning

APVh1The area under the surface formed by the set of amplitude of the main wave
APVh3The area under the surface formed by the set of amplitude of the predicrotic wave
APVh4The area under the surface formed by the set of amplitude of the dicrotic notch
APVh5The area under the surface formed by the set of amplitude of the dicrotic wave
APVh3/h1The area under the surface formed by the ratio of the amplitude of the predicrotic wave amplitude to the amplitude of main wave
APVh4/h1The area under the surface formed by the ratio of the amplitude of the dicrotic notch amplitude to the amplitude of main wave
APVh5/h1The area under the surface formed by the ratio of the amplitude of the dicrotic wave amplitude to the amplitude of main wave
