ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for vascular testing for diagnosing circulatory and secondary nervous disorders. The method allows a non-technical person to rapidly plot blood pressure and/or volumetric blood flow wave forms from a plurality of separate digits and/or extremities of a patient. The change in circumference of each body part correlates to the amount of blood flow through the body being measured. The wave form may then be analyzed by a physician for the purpose of identifying abnormalities or disorders in a patient.
