Abstract

The objective of this study was to test the validity of two different measuring methods of discriminating between type A and type D, which were known as the psychological risk factors for coronary heart disease(CHD), from that of normal people. Before measuring blood pressure, 148 college students(male 45%) participated and were classified as type A , B, and the normal group using the TPA scale of MMPI-2 and DS14. The first analysis was conducted with the data of systolic and diastoloic blood pressure, and we found no significant differences between these three groups. Next, a newly developed analyzing method was applied to the qualitative data of the blood pressure wave to examine the possibility of discriminating between a CHD-prone personality group and those of persons in the normal group. For this analysis, the blood pressure wave was measured with a computer program through cuff pressure. Then, the pressure wave patterns were normalized and transformed by STFT(short-time Fourier transformation). Finally, the wave features of the three groups were extracted from the STFT data, and then was analyzed by using LDA(linear discriminant analysis). The recognition rate was 88.8%, which represents a fairy robust result. The results of our analysis showed the utility of qualitative data of heart functions. Our study also suggests that the relationship between a CHD-prone personality and CHD could be varied by the different aspects of biological features or analyzing method for measuring heart functions.
