Assessment of photoplethysmogram contour analysis of university students in Tyumen Oblast

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular system disorders in young adults is an important prognostic measure for assessing and preserving the adaptation reserves of the organism. Photoplethysmography based on determination of blood volume in the microvascular bed is a modern, widely used express method of screening diagnostics for vascular health. The contour analysis of photoplethysmogram and some components of haemodynamics in students studying in three universities of Tyumen Oblast are assessed. Sex and regional peculiarities of vessel wall state of students have been determined. It is shown that the examined young male students studying in University of Tyumen and Yugra State University had a high level of systolic blood pressure quite frequently, as well as the ambulatory arterial stiffness index exceeding the normative values (52% of young men and 28% of young women among all examined students of Yugra State University). The data obtained as a result of the analysis of students living and studying in different cities of the Tyumen Oblast can be used to determine the risks of cardiovascular disorders based on a set of parameters of the vessel wall condition. The data can also be used to develop algorithms for cardiovascular disorders prognosis and their timely prevention.
