A method for obtaining continuously and non-invasively one or more parameters relating to the cardiovascular system of a subject. The parameters obtainable by the method are systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, young modulus of an artery, cardiac output, relative changes in vascular resistance, and relative changes in vascular compliance. In accordance with the method, the ratio, kappa of the subject's blood flow velocity to the propagation speed of the subject's pulse wave is obtained continuously and non-invasively. kappa is then processed so as to obtain the instantaneous values of the desired parameters. |
