Noninvasive assessment of blood pressure in rotary blood pump recipients using a novel ultrasonic Doppler method.

In this study, a new Doppler blood pressure measurement system was developed and clinically validated. The novel sensor allows easier placement above the radial artery compared to commercial probes. An algorithm was developed which processes the Doppler signal robustly and is able to determine the systolic as well as the mean arterial blood pressure.
