Methods for monitoring central-to-peripheral arterial pressure decoupling, i.e., hyperdynamic conditions, are described. These methods involve the comparison of parameters calculated from multivariate statistical models established for both subjects experiencing normal hemodynamic conditions and subjects experiencing hyperdynamic conditions, in which central-to peripheral decoupling may occur. The difference or ratio between the parameters calculated using the two multivariate statistical models provides a continual indication of the level of decoupling as well as indicating peripheral decoupling when a threshold value is exceeded. These methods can be used to both alert a user to the fact that a subject is experiencing peripheral decoupling and provide accurate arterial tone measurements, which enable the calculation of accurate values for other parameters, such as stroke volume and cardiac output. |
