Advanced analysis of the morphological features of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) waveform may provide greater understanding of mechanisms of action of photobiomodulation (PBM). Photobiomodulation is a non-ionizing, red to near-infrared irradiation shown to induce peripheral vasodilatation, promote wound healing, and reduce pain. Using laser Doppler flowmetry combined with thermal imaging we found previously in a clinical study that PBM stimulates microcirculatory blood flow and that baseline palm skin temperature determines, at least in part, why some individuals respond favorably to PBM while others do not.

- - The research aimed to enhance the understanding of the lower limit of autoregulation (LLA) of cerebral blood flow by combining the Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index (AASI) with other predictors to better determine if mean arterial pressure (MAP) is above or below this LLA.
- - In a study involving 181 cardiac surgery patients, independent predictors of LLA were identified through multivariate regression, with BMI, AASI, and systolic coefficient of variation showing significant correlations.
- - The use of new composite predictors, derived from multiple variables, demonstrated stronger correlations with LLA and improved estimation accuracy compared to single predictors, suggesting a better ability to maintain MAP within a safe range during surgery.
