Abstract: Arterial blood pressure (ABP) signal contains abundant information about heart beat rhythm and hemodynamic changes which can be employed to predict bradycardia and tachycardia. Thus, a waveform modelling method based on curve fitting is proposed to extract some significant difference between bradycardia and tachycardia. First, the ABP signal is pre-processed and is split into a series of single-period waveform. Then, a single-period ABP waveform model is proposed to describe the change of linear trend and waveform, and a nonlinear least squares method is employed to compute the parameters of the model. The bradycardia and tachycardia data from 2015 PhysioNet/CinC Challenge are engaged as experimental data. The results show that there are significant differences for many of the model parameters between bradycardia and tachycardia.
