ABSTRACT:
The present invention specifies a method and system for assessing breathing effectiveness via dynamic assessment of respiratory sinus arrhythmia and the consequent arterial pressure wave using the oscillometric measurement technique. Arterial pressure wave peak pressure, valley pressure, amplitude, and rate are characterized and displayed for diagnostic and remedial purposes. The dynamic change in respiratory sinus arrhythmia and resultant arterial pressure wave is visually presented in real time as user biofeedback. A respiratory sinus arrhythmia generator generates varying frequencies to which the user synchronizes their breathing cycle for purposes of increasing arterial pressure wave amplitude with a consequent increase in breathing depth and decrease in breathing frequency. An instructive method in the application of the present invention is also specified.
