Blood pressure pulse waves are propagated from the heart to peripheral with changing their shapes according to characteristics of pass way. A characteristic of total arteries can be detected from pulse waves as an arterial stiffness. Some diseases, like an abdominal aortic aneurysm, can be predicted if some deformed pulse waveform of specific arteries are detected. The aim of this research is to propose new method to detect such diseases. A pulse wave propagation model based on an arterial tree can help to analyze the cause of deformed pulse waveform. In this paper, the propagation of pulse wave characteristics is theoretically analyzed and new method to detect the diseases is proposed and verified in the simulation.
