128 metrics derived from an ICP pulse-based on the landmarks of Fig. 1

28 Basic metrics extracted from individual landmarks or over all characteristics
dV1, dV2, dV3, dP1, dP2, dP3 Amplitude of landmark relative to the minimum point prior to initial rise
LV1P1, LV1P2, LV1P3, LV2P2, LV3P3 Time delay among landmarks
Curvv1, Curvv2, Curvv3, Curvp1, Curvp2, Curvp3 Absolute curvature of each landmark
K1, K2, K3, RC1, RC2, RC3 K1, K2, K3 are slope of each rising edge and RC1, RC2, RC3 are time-constants of each descending edge
mICP, diasICP Mean ICP and diastolic ICP
LT Time delay of V1 to ECG QRS peak
mCurv Mean absolute curvature of the pulse
WaveAmp Maximum among dP1–dP3
100 extended metrics calculated as ratios among metrics within each group
dPp1p2,… Ratio among landmark amplitudes
LV1P1/LT, Ratio among time delays
Curvv1/Curvv2, Ratio among curvatures
K1/RC1,… Ratio among slopes/RCs
