ABSTRACT:
A system and method for measuring the heart condition of a patient is disclosed. The system includes a measuring device used to generate an absolute blood pressure signal indicative of the absolute blood pressure of the patient. A processing element receives and processes the absolute blood pressure signal, and generates (1) a filtered blood pressure signal by removing certain variations from the absolute blood pressure signal caused by respiratory activity of the patient; and (2) a set of parameters derived from the filtered blood pressure signal. The set of parameters measure certain aspects of the absolute blood pressure signal which are indicative of the performance and condition of the patient's heart.
