My research interests are mainly focused on using physiological measurements and numerical modelling to characterise the cardiovascular haemodynamics which might give useful explanation and prediction of cardiovascular diseases.
My current work focus on developing algorithms using shape of peripheral arterial pressure waveform to determine the central systolic blood pressure cSBP, diastolic pressure cDBP and mean arterial pressure MAP accurately. These derived values could be used to calibrate the central pressure waveform estimated from other method.
I am also working in a project focused in the haemodynamic genesis of the backward pressure wave and the relative importance of reservoir and reflection in determining central haemodynamics. I used the numerical modelling and experimentally derived data to gain insight into the physical determinants.
