Monitoring of the central blood pressure waveform via a conformal ultrasonic device. [PDF]
Continuous monitoring of the central-blood-pressure waveform from deeply embedded vessels, such as the carotid artery and jugular vein, has clinical value for the prediction of all-cause cardiovascular mortality. However, existing non-invasive approaches,
