Reproducing the Article Figures

This pages provides details of how to reproduce the figures in the article describing the pulse wave database.

Requirements

It is assumed that the previous steps outlined in Reproducing the Pulse Wave Database have been carried out, and that figures have been generated by running the following scripts:

calculate_pwdb_input_parameters.m (as described here)
analyse_pwdb.m
ppamp_case_study.m, asi_case_study.m and co_case_study.m (as described here)

Figures

Instructions are now provided on how to reproduce each individual figure. EPS figures were used in the article.

Figure 1: The 1D model of pulse wave propagation and simulated pulse waves

This figure contains the following plots, which are produced by analyse_pwdb.m and stored in the .../pwdb_#/analysis/figures/ directory:

Aortic inflow: waves_Q_AorticRoot_baseline
Simulated waves at carotid artery: waves_Q_Carotid_baseline, waves_A_Carotid_baseline, waves_U_Carotid_baseline, waves_P_Carotid_baseline, waves_PPG_Neck_baseline.

Figure 2: A summary of the literature review findings

This figure contains plots produced by calculate_pwdb_input_parameters.m, which are stored in the directory specified by up.savefolder within the setup_up function. The following plots were used:

Changes in parameters with age: the changes_w_age_... plots were used to create the sub-plots of Heart Rate to Diastolic Blood Pressure.
PWV vs Diameter: Wave_speeds
