Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of food intake on radial pulse amplitude.
Methods: Thirty one healthy male subjects participated in this study. Radial pulse was measured using 3 dimensional pulse imaging system (DMP-3000) before, right after, 40 minutes after, 80 minutes after and 120 minutes after food intake.
Results: 1. The amplitude of h1 increased significantly right after food intake compared to ’before food intake’ at all 6 measuring points. Later on, it decreased back as time passed, however, even 120 minutes later, it was still higher than ’before food intake’ 2. Pulse energy, which is calculated from pulse waves acquired with five sensors, increased after food intake as well.
Conslusions: Food intake exerts an influence on radial pulse amplitude, resulting in increase of h1 and pulse energy.
