Abstract

Left ventricular ejection times were measured from indirect carotid arterial sphygmograms and digital plethysmograms in 118 healthy males and 106 healthy females. The carotid-derived left ventricular ejection time, which was generally accepted as a standard measurement, was shorter than the other in both sexes. However, there was a significant correlation between these two measurements in males and females. This suggests that the left ventficular ejection time obtained from the digital plethysmogram could provide a comparable information to that of the carotidderived one.
