Popis: Blood pressure measurement is a key indicator of vascular health and a routine part of medical examinations. Given the ability of photoplethysmography (PPG) signals to provide insights into the microvascular bed and their compatibility with wearable devices, significant research has focused on using PPG signals for blood pressure estimation. This study aimed to identify specific clinical PPG features that vary with different blood pressure levels. Through a literature review of 297 publications, we selected 16 relevant studies and identified key time-dependent PPG features associated with blood pressure prediction. Our analysis highlighted the second derivative of PPG signals, particularly the b/a and d/a ratios, as the most frequently reported and significant predictors of systolic blood pressure. Additionally, features from the velocity and acceleration photoplethysmograms were also notable. In total, 29 features were analyzed, revealing novel temporal domain features that show promise for further research and application in blood pressure estimation.
