Method and system for cardiovascular system diagnosis

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and system for monitoring function and/or diagnosing dysfunction of the cardiovascular system of a human subject. The method comprise measuring pulse wave signals of the subject during rapid excitation of the cardiovascular system, analyzing the measured signals and computing indicators reflecting a response to said excitation. The cardiovascular excitation preferably comprise a controlled breathing protocol characterized by a predefined frequency of breaths (e.g., about 0.1 Hz).
