Analysis of arterial pulse waveforms is important for non-invasive diagnosis of cardiovascular functions. Large samples of IPG signal records of radial arterial pulse show presence of eight different types of shapes (morphological patterns) in the pulse waveforms. In this paper we present an efficient computational me- thod for automatic identification of these morpho- logical patterns. Our algorithm uses likelihood ratio of cumulative periodogram of pulse signals and some geometrical criteria. The algorithm is presented with necessary details on signal processing aspects. Results for a large sample of pulse records of adult Indian subjects show a high accuracy of our algorithm in de- tecting pulse-morphology patterns. Variation of pulse- morphology with respect to time is also analyzed using this algorithm. We have identified some cha- racteristic features of pulse-m
