ABSTRACT:
A leg blood pressure monitor for an ambulatory patient during his normal daily activities including a catheter for insertion into a blood vessel, a pressure transducer for converting blood pressure to an electrical signal which is representative of the blood pressure, a voltage controlled oscillator for providing a frequency output which is proportional to the electrical signal, and a tape recorder for recording the frequency output and the attitude of the ambulatory patient along a time base. The tape recorder may include a microphone into which the patient dictates the attitude of various relevant parts of his body during pain episodes, or position transducers may be attached to the calf, thigh and side of the patient to produce outputs which show the attitudes of these parts of the body and which are recorded on the tape recorder with reference to the blood pressure readings. In addition, the tape recorder may include referencing mechanism to indicate on the tape the occurrences of pain episodes. A method of monitoring the blood pressure of an ambulatory patient during his normal daily activities by invasively measuring venous leg pressure in relation to the attitude of various parts of the patient's body and in relation to the occurrence of pain and discomfort.
