Haemodynamic Parameters Analysis through Audio Signal Processing Analysis of Doppler Audio Signals for Carotid Artery Assessment

Limitations of traditional auscultation for vascular assessment prompt the exploration of alternative methods. This study investigates the potential of Doppler ultrasound signal analysis as a non-invasive and potentially cost-effective tool for screening carotid artery health. We analyzed Doppler data from 216 individuals (18-59 years) and identified distinct frequency ranges associated with blood flow. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between these frequencies and hemodynamic parameters, suggesting a link to vascular health. These findings hold promise for developing a novel screening method for early detection of carotid artery stenosis.
