Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to measuring the opening and closing function of a heart valve, and more particularly to an apparatus for measuring the opening and closing function of a heart valve by a non-invasive radial blood pressure waveform and Measurement method. [Prior Art] In order to understand the blood flow of the heart, the conventional technique of inserting (or invading) the artery of the body (such as the aorta, the carotid, or the radial artery) with a liquid pressure gauge is obtained. Continuous arterial blood pressure waveform. The second diagram shows the relationship between the pressure waveform of the arteries obtained by the liquid pressure gauge breaking into the aorta (Aorta) and its time points of the heart cycle. It can be clearly seen from the blood pressure waveform of the aorta (A〇rta) in Fig. 1. When the aortic valve is opened, the blood pressure wave rises rapidly from the bottom line (the left ventricular ejection begins); ♦ the blood pressure wave reaches the highest point (ie, the main peak or the first wave front) when the flow rate of the liquid is highest; the left ventricular ejection ends, the aortic valve closes. At that time, the blood pressure waveform forms a valley bottom, after which the blood pressure wave rises slightly and then gradually drops to the bottom line (Baseline, the diastolic pressure).

The left ventricle (Left Ventricle) blood pressure waveform in Figure 1 is the liquid pressure gauge carbon into the left ventricle (Left ventricle). It is worth noting that the continuous blood pressure waveform does not have enough (four) to show the waveform at the time of the aortic closure. This is because the test force gauge is located in the left ventricle (10).

There are specific types of tests when opening or closing. However, this continuous blood pressure waveform is obtained via an invasive liquid pressure gauge. The focus of this issue is to use a non-intrusive instrument to obtain a specific waveform when the second reward is turned on or closed. The blood flow rate of the Aotic valve in the figure is the blood flow rate recorded by the liquid flow meter near the A tic valve. A detailed reading of the blood flow rate map reveals that when the aortic valve is opened, the blood stalk rises rapidly, _ the highest speed point, and when the large pulsation valve is closed, the blood money speed drops to zero. Another technical point of the present invention is to obtain a specific waveform of the aortic valve when it is opened and closed by a non-intelligence instrument. The ECG signal in Figure 1 is the ECG signal measured by the ECG ECG during the same period. Clinically, it has been found that the ECG signal cannot be used to discriminate the heart valve. The abnormality of the opening and closing functions. 0 In summary, the conventional liquid pressure gauge technique is often used by researchers to obtain the blood pressure waveform when the aortic valve is opened and closed, but because Invasive, clinically rarely used as a tool to break heart valve abnormalities. When it is suspected that the heart valve is abnormal, clinical clinics usually use blood analysis and electrocardiography (ECG 'Electrocardiography) to rule out the possibility of other similar symptoms (for example, too high or too low potassium (κ) concentration in the blood can cause arrhythmia It is suspected that the heart valve is abnormal; and the electrocardiogram can measure the ECG signal 'myocardial insufficiency' and arrhythmia in detail). Next, the clinician then uses Echocardiography to confirm the normal or abnormal sound waveform of any of the above-mentioned valves when they are turned on and off. In order to further analyze the insufficiency of the cardiac valve, [P (Prolapse) or jk fluid counterflow or Regurgitation, clinical cardiologist 201136568 often receives D-er Ultras〇und in the heart and surrounding blood. The image 'to confirm the details and extent of the heart valve disease (such as excessive palpitations, ignorance, discomfort, inability to lock, blood leakage ratio, etc.). Although both the heart sound machine and the Doppler ultrasound are the human type H, it is not easy to sneak into the blame, the operation and the training, and the doctors in the hospital can not be promoted to the general department (such as internal medicine, family medicine, medical department, Psychiatry, rehabilitation, etc.). Due to exposure reasons, heart sound machines and Doppler ultrasound are often not available to clinics, # or home use. Although the ECG can measure the detailed ECG signal, it can't be touched. Due to the simple operation and reasonable rationality of the wrist or arm type sphygmomanometer, 6 is one of the difficulties in the treatment of silk. The electronic sphygmomanometer usually contains a pumping pump, a gas valve, a gas meter, an air tube, a wristband with an air bag, a circuit module, and a casing for blood pressure measurement. The process towel and the air-sending valve cause the air bag to be pressurized and reduced. At the same time, the blood pressure pulse wave of the wrist and the radial artery is transmitted to the barometer through the air bag and the air pipe, and the soft and hard art on the circuit will be pure. The heart rate, the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure are calculated by amplification, accounting and analysis. Although the above-mentioned existing blood pressure measurement technology can record the blood pressure waveform of the radial artery by a barometer, due to factors such as the material characteristics and geometry of the air bag, the original shape of the blood pressure wave cannot be completely transmitted to the air of the air bag, and The air bag is transmitted to the path of the barometer through the airway tube, and the blood pressure wave pattern is degraded (Dampening) and the intensity is weakened, resulting in the measured blood pressure waveform loss sensitivity (Acsiacy) and accuracy (Accuracy) Conventional wrist or arm electronic sphygmomanometers cannot be used to detect the specific fine blood 201136568 pressure wave pattern that occurs when the heart valve is opened and closed. In order to measure the more accurate brachial blood pressure waveform, the pulse instrument on the market adopts a round pressure sensor of about 5-mm diameter. When testing, the circular pressure sensor is fixed to the wrist with tape or rubber band. Above the artery, connect the signal wire to the circuit board or computer. Usually, the round pressure sensor is made of a resistive-type conductive material. Similar to the principle of the Strain Gauge, it contains an amplifier circuit. Temperature effect compensation, and linearization processing components. When the resistive material is stressed, the amount of change in resistance, current, or voltage is proportional to the pressure, so the pressure can be recorded by this relationship. The above technique can indeed measure the details and prototype of the brachial blood pressure waveform under ideal conditions', but its disadvantage is that it cannot accurately control the pressure of the circular pressure sensor fixed on the wrist surface. The present inventors have found that this pressure is very important for measuring blood pressure waveforms, and if the pressure is too light (for example, the above-mentioned conventional technique is only fixed with a tape or a rubber band), the wrist is hypertrophied, the radial artery is deep, or the pulse wave is encountered. In the case of weak conditions, the pressure sensor cannot obtain a clear blood pressure waveform signal. If the pressure is too heavy, the blood flow to the radial artery is severely obstructed, causing the measured blood pressure waveform to be distorted. Therefore, this conventional pulse diagnosis device cannot be used as an instrument for detecting the opening and closing of a heart valve. In addition, due to factors such as the size of the wrist and the deep position of the radial artery, the circular pressure device must be grasped by a trained physician or nursing staff to find the correct position of the artery and fixed. This kind of inconvenient operation is one of the factors that make the pulse diagnosis instrument or other similar equipment unable to become an electronic device. According to clinical statistics, patients with heart valve abnormalities are increasing, and mitral valve insufficiency accounts for 2-3% of the total population (see Hayek E, Gring CN, Grif f in BP (2005).

When testing, simply test the wrist strap 2〇 and its attached body 7〇 over the wrist 90. At the beginning of the test, the air bag 21 of the wristband 2 is pressurized and pressurized by the pump 31 of the charging and deflating unit 30, and at the same time, the air bag 21 also applies pressure to the piezoelectric sensor 10, the piezoelectric sensor 1〇 The pressure is applied to the radial artery 91 of the wrist 9 增强, which causes the pulse signal of the piezoelectric sensor 1 to be enhanced. [S 1 Referring to Figures 3a to 3c, one of the technical points of the present invention is to gradually increase the pressure of the air bag 21 from zero to a certain pressure by using the 15 201136568 Pu 31 (for example, taking 2 legs, as shown in the figure) 'This piezoelectric induction H is the blood pressure pulse of the 3b picture during this inflation period, and the primary peak height of each pulse wave (Fig. 3c). In general, &, the main wave is first changed from small to large, and then from large to small, when the main wave shows a maximum value (generally between 70-150 raraHg, Figure 3b), then The pressure of the air bag 21 is defined as the optimum test air pressure according to the present invention (〇ptimal “Pressure”). The inventors have found that the piezoelectric sensor 1 has the strongest blood pressure wave signal in this state, that is, the signal-noise. The ratio (Signal_t〇_N〇iseRati〇) is the highest. When the air pressure of the air bag 21 is lower than this value, the pressure signal is weak due to the poor pressure transmission between the piezoelectric sensor 1 and the radial artery; when the air bag 21 is weak; When the air pressure is higher than this value, the wristband 20, the squat bag 21, and the piezoelectric sensor 1 施 exert excessive pressure on the iliac artery 91, reducing the arterial flow rate, and also causing the pulse signal to be weakened and modified. The important steps of the present invention One is to measure the optimal test pressure at the beginning of the blood pressure waveform of the radial artery 91. Then, the air bag 21 is pressurized to or near the air pressure value, and then the blood pressure waveform monitoring is performed. The above aeration step is changed to quickly charge to a certain pressure value (for example, 20 0 mmHg), and then gradually reduce the pressure of the air bag 21. During this deflation period, according to the same principle and steps as above, the optimum test air pressure can be found. The shape and size of the piezoelectric sensor 10' described above does not hinder this. According to the invention, the sensing body member of the piezoelectric inductor 10 can be a circular shape, and the square shape is a sheet of other geometric shapes, and the thickness thereof can range from 0.1 leg to 5 mm, and the diameter or the length of the side can be From 1 to 100 mm, it is placed in the wristband 2〇 just above the wrist 90 iliac artery 91. The preferred state of the piezoelectric sensor 10 (No. 16 201136568 4) is a round foil 'The diameter is 2~5 coffee, the thickness is up to 3 legs, the electric wave signal is the lion's strip _ 做 _ 4 〇, its power supply stress-type Strain Gauge piezoelectric element or semiconductor type Semi_c〇nductQr Shi Xi piezoelectric The component requires an external power supply, but the PZT or p-win piezoelectric piece does not require a power supply.

According to the fifth figure of the present invention, the pressure The other preferred state of the electric sensor 10 is a rectangular sheet whose length (along the direction of the hand) is 1 to 3 〇 coffee, and the width (between the width of the hand 熇 〜 ~ (10) 咖 'Other built in the wristband 20 or the power supply characteristics are the same as described above. When tested, since the piezoelectric sensor 1 〇 covers a large enough range, it is easier to position the radial artery 91.

In the step of combining, the plurality of piezoelectric elements u are arranged in a row in the width direction of the hand, and are fixed on the flexible circuit board 121, and a small gap is formed between the piezoelectric element n and the piezoelectric element u ( 〇·1~2mm) to avoid interference from adjacent waves. Further, a multi-plexer 46 and an associated driving software 47 are mounted on the piezoelectric sensing module 12 of the present invention. The flexible circuit board m transmits the electric wave signals from the sensing elements 11 to the multi-signal scanner 46 by a cable or cable connector, which is connected to the signal filtering component.

According to these clinical findings, the aforementioned non-invasive blood pressure pulse measurement technique is reused. The present invention (4) non-invasive secrets The method for measuring the opening and closing of a heart valve by the instrument for measuring the opening and closing function of the blood pressure waveform includes the following steps of measuring the function of opening and closing the heart valve and determining whether it is abnormal: (1) taking the subject Regular (such as 50 seconds to 5 minutes) continuous blood pressure waveform, calculate the six characteristic points of each heart and three characteristic waves and their related ten Lu parameters (time parameters T1 to T6, pressure parameters P1 to P6; see Figure 8 and Table 1). (2) Divide the time parameter of the above-mentioned subject, in seconds, by the heartbeat period (ie, the time required for each heartbeat, in seconds) to form six Standardized and no single (Dimensionless or Normalized) of the time parameter (NT1 to the NT6); this step to eliminate the influence of the speed of the heartbeat time parameters. (3) Divide the pressure parameter (^ axis, in volts “Η) of the above test subject by the primary peak height (in volts Volt) to form five standardized and unitless pressure parameters (NT1). To NT5; the towel Bb (ie the main wave height) is not standardized; see Figure 8 and Table 1). (4) If steps (1) to (3), multiple normal people (such as more than ten) After averaging eleven standardized parameters, the "specific blood pressure waveform parameters when the normal heart valve is opened and closed" are defined and stored in the circuit module or computer database (CPU, memory, etc.) of the present invention. As a criterion for determining the wave number of the characteristic wave of any subject and whether the heart valve opening and closing function is abnormal. (5) The pulse wave of the above-mentioned subject is the highest wave height A at the main wave height (four) (This value can be augmented and the normal person database in step (4) is defined as "the blood vessel with physiological meaning" "The pulse of the small pulse is regarded as noise. (6) If the subject has physiological The wave number of the blood pressure wave of significance is greater than 3 in any cardiac cycle. (7) Cheng (6), if the subject's pulse wave appears at least two consecutive peaches after the aortic valve is closed (according to the lining point and time parameter silk standard, Lai Xiaobo appears X - The position of the shaft should be between C and E, see Figure 8, _ is defined as aortic valve insufficiency. (8) Bearing (6), if the subject is in the last segment of the pulse (ie before the next main wave) The normalized time unit of about .1-0·3; or the χ_axis position should be between the characteristic points of E and G (see Figure 8). If at least two consecutive wavelets appear, the mitral valve insufficiency is determined. (9) If the subject's aortic valve insufficiency occurs in most of the pulse waves (eg, more than 50% of the continuous pulse measured; this value can be adjusted according to clinical experience), it is further determined as "regular aorta The valve is incompletely closed (as shown in Figure 9b); otherwise, if the subject's aortic valve insufficiency only occurs in certain pulse waves (or less than 5% of the pulse), then further judged, Incidental aortic valve insufficiency, (as shown in Figure 9a) (10) If the subject's mitral valve Incomplete occlusion occurs in most of the pulse waves (eg [more than 50% of the pulse; this value can be adjusted according to clinical experience), then further judgment 23 201136568 is defined as recurrent - valvular insufficiency" (such as the persuasion) As shown in the figure); conversely, if the subject's second _ lock incomplete only occurs in certain pulse waves (or less than 5G% of the pulse wave), then it is further determined as "occasion mitral valve insufficiency, (11) (11) The analysis of each step (6) to (9) above can be interpreted by the naked eye in addition to the available software program to confirm the judgment is correct.

The soft and hard parts of the instrument and the operation part of this example are similar to the example 1, but the measured results are as shown in Fig. 9a. Since two of the five cycles of the measured continuous pulse show a continuous nucleus after the tremor wave (depending on; the ship is greater than 3), the #three-sided period has no such continuous wavelet (the total wave number of the cycle is equal to 3) ). Therefore, it was determined that the subject was inadvertent aortic valve insufficiency. Example 3: Non-invasive wrist radial artery blood pressure waveform measuring instrument is used in subjects with frequent aortic valve insufficiency. This example is similar to the soft and hard county operation department purchase _ instance 丨, but the measured surname is as shown in Figure 9b. Because of the secret wave seven of _ _ shot a post after the heavy beat wave 30 201136568 = display even private waves (recording head fine; the total wave number of the axis is greater than 3), so it is determined that the test is a regular aortic valve insufficiency . An example 4. A non-invasive wrist radial artery blood pressure waveform measuring instrument system is used for subjects with sporadic mitral valve insufficiency. The soft and hard parts of the instrument and the operation part of this example are similar to the example i, but the measured results are as shown in the figure. Since one of the five cycles of the measured continuous pulse wave is at the end (the display of the lower wire is continuous Yao (the number of touches is greater than 3), the other four cycles do not have this continuous wavelet (the total wave of the cycle) The number is equal to 3). Therefore, the subject was determined to be sporadic mitral valve insufficiency. Example 5: Non-invasive hand-cranked blood pressure wave type aging is used for subjects with frequent mitral valve insufficiency. The soft and hard parts of the instrument and the operation part of this example are similar to the example 丨, but the measured result is shown in Figure l〇b. Since the measured continuous pulse wave is in the last stage of each of the five cycles (the next wave is not started) Previously) shows a continuous wavelet (indicated by the arrow; the total wave number of the week is greater than 3), so the subject is determined to be a frequent mitral valve insufficiency. Example 6: Non-invasive wrist radial artery blood pressure waveform measuring instrument The system is measured and compared with Doppler Ultrasound. The soft and hard parts of the instrument and the operation part of this example are similar to the example 丨, but the DW-A ultrasound A is measured while measuring the blood pressure waveform of the wrist and brachial artery. Doppler mtrasciund; USCOM Pty Ltd, Sydney NSW 2000, Austra Lia; http://www. uscom. com, au/contact/index, html) in the heart of the heart [s] output (Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor; see Figure 15) and the big move 31 201136568 pulse blood flow, the 16th _ shows the results of the comparison between the blood and the blood flow of the Doppler ultrasound. The image of the aortic valve is increased from zero when the aortic valve is opened. The pressure of the Qi Libo type is also increased by the bottom of the valley (ie, diastolic blood pressure); when the blood flow of the aorta reaches the highest value ^, the pressure of the blood pressure waveform also reaches its apex; when the aorta is closed, the blood flow drops to zero. The Qianbo type is just in the valley of the domain and the heavy ship. The above experimental results confirm that the non-invasive wrist and blood pressure measuring instrument system of the present invention is used for the sensitivity of the opening and closing of the heart valve (this example is an aortic valve).
