A pulsewave detection unit is provided, at least a portion of the pulsewave detection unit being configured to be coupled to a portion of a subject's body, the pulsewave detection unit generating a signal that is responsive to arterial pressure of the portion of the subject's body. A pulsewave parameters determination unit receives respective first and second signals from the pulsewave detection unit, the signals being responsive to arterial pressure of the portion of the subject's body while the portion of the pulsewave detection unit that is coupled to the portion of the subject's body is at respective first and second heights, at respective times. An arterial parameters calculating unit determines an arterial property of the subject by processing the first and second signals, and generates an output in response to determining the arterial property. Other embodiments are also described.
