Pulse transit time deceleration index

1. Pulse transit time deceleration index is associated with body mass index in humans.

   “PTT deceleration index is negatively correlated with body mass index and this correlation is statistically significant.”

1. Pulse transit time deceleration index is associated with diastolic blood pressure in humans (r = 0.634, p < 0.001).

   “correlation of DBP with PTT deceleration index was statistically significant (p < 0.001), in subjects having higher BMI.”
