Heart rate monitor provided with a plethysmographic detector.

摘要

An apparatus for monitoring the cardiovascular system contains a plethysmographic type detector (11), a processing unit for the signals obtained and a visualisation device (3) providing written and/or graphic data (13). The plethysmographic measuring device consists of at least one plethysmographic sensor (11) which is housed in the inflatable cuff (12) of a sphygmomanometer. The apparatus may be used without imposing any constraint on the user, and provides information about the user's heart rate and blood pressure. <IMAGE>
