ABSTRACT: Pulse wave Transit Time (PTT) is a promising approach to achieve a
continuous and non-invasive measurement of Blood Pressure (BP). However, compared
with invasive and cuff-based methods, the PTT-based method is not accurate enough for
some circumstances. In this paper, its major restrictive factors are in ...
