NOT INVASIVE HEART PARAMETER MEASUREMENT

NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC PARAMETER MEASUREMENT

Non-imaging mode system for acquiring cardiac parameters using Doppler acoustic signals. Some embodiments use only a single transducer, optionally aimed in an apical view. Some embodiments detect specifically peak events in the heart.

Non-invasive cardiac parameter measurement

The invention relates to a method of cardiac monitoring, comprising (a) aiming, with a low angular precision, a non-imaging sensor at said heart to receive a signal from said heart; (b) automatically identifying a spatially specific tissue in said heart by said sensor based on a signature pattern in said received signal; (c) extracting of a value of a cardiac parameter associated with said specific tissue using a signal detected by said sensor; (d) continuing cardiac monitoring by (i) receiving a further signal from said specific tissue; (ii) identifying said specific tissue in said further signal; and (iii) extracting a further value of said cardiac parameter from a signal detected by said sensor; and (e) repeating (d) for at least 10 minutes.
