ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for recurrently obtaining a measure of the systolic slope of the blood pressure wave in a subject's artery during a range of physical activity, or exercise, are disclosed. A plot, or record, of the slope measurements versus heart beat rate, point in an exercise protocol, or the like, is provided from which subjects having coronary artery disease (CAD) may be distinguished from subjects without CAD.
