ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic sensor for measurement of in vivo nitric oxide concentrations in a subject. The sensor contains a nitric oxide-sensing compound in a polymer matrix attached to an optical fiber. The sensor may be placed in any blood vessel, including one within the heart of a subject for continuous measurement of nitric oxide concentrations in blood.
