Examples of percentile, hypoperfusion and hypertensive event evaluation.

(ab) Example of percentile evaluation in the case of Pdm,left (p(Pdm,left) is the probability density function). SR thresholds (5% SR and 95% SR, dashed lines) individuate the 5th and 95th percentiles in SR (panel a, blue areas), while they correspond to the 27th and 91st percentiles in AF (panel b, red areas). (c) Example of hypoperfusion lasting 2 beats (Qdm,left). Average flow rate per beats are represented by green horizontal lines, while the 5th percentile SR threshold is displayed through the dashed blue horizontal line. (d) Example of hypertensive event lasting 3 beats (Pdm,left). Average pressure per beats are reported with black horizontal lines, while the dashed blue horizontal line represents the 95th percentile SR threshold.
