Sergej Sosunkevič, Andrius Rapalis, Arūnas Lukoševičius

Abstract


The diabetes is associated with increased death risk from cardiovascular disease. The change of elastic properties of arteries is a good diagnostic indicator to determine a risk of cardiovascular pathologies. Currently there are no non-invasive techniques for cardiovascular pathology diagnostic in diabetes. In this study average pulse amplitude of PPG signal increased after leg orthostatic and occlusion in healthy subject and decreased in subject with diagnosed DM. The results showed a possibility to detect changes of arteries of healthy subjects and subject with diagnosed diabetes.
