Abstract
Photoplethysmogram is widely used to measure heart rate and arterial blood oxygen saturation in human. This paper describes radial pulse waves recorded by photoplethysmogram with 940 nm wavelength infra red light. Radial pulse waves were varied according to the recording site. When recorded on the skin over radial artery, the radial pulse wave was inverted, comparing to the photoplethysmogram at fingertip. The mechanism of inverted pulse wave seemed to be caused by the change of the blood volume in the subcutaneous tissue between radial artery and the skin, which was reduced during systolic period and increased during diastolic period of the cardiac cycle. These results suggest that radial arterial wall may reflect infra red ray.
