SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS CENTRAL AND BRACHIAL ARTERIAL PRESSURE MONITORING

摘要

An implantable medical device system and corresponding method to monitor blood pressure by transforming a measured pressure signal to estimate a blood pressure metric or waveform corresponding to a target site. An implantable sensor generates a signal corresponding to blood pressure at a first arterial branch location and a processor receiving the signal applies a transfer function to the signal to derive a blood pressure metric or waveform at a target site.
