Abstract

One method for assessing a vessel can include obtaining a set of first location pressure measurements at a first location in the vessel over a first time period and a set of second location pressure measurements at a second location in the vessel over the first time period. This method can further include identifying a first leading characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of first location pressure measurements, a second leading characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of second location pressure measurements, a first trailing characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of first location pressure measurements, and a second trailing characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of second location pressure measurements. And, this method can include calculating a pressure ratio using pressure measurements between the identified characteristics.
