Assessment of Diastolic Behavior of Patients with Hypertension vs. other Myocardial Diseases Using an External Pressure Transducer and Short Handgrip Exercise
Journal Title: Journal of Hypertension and Management - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Pressocardiogram is a very old noninvasive technique that has been used widely in noninvasive laboratories in and out of hospitals by applying transthoracically an optimal pressure sensor over the maximal LV impulse. It has been proved that this pulse pressure tracing obtained over the maximal LV impulse reflects LVP curve in time and slopes.
