Registration of Intravascular Pressure Curves: Magneto-Mechanical Evaluation.

In this work, graphs of the intravascular blood pressures at both the left primitive carotid artery and the left jugular vein are presented, by using a “magneto-mechanical” technique with pulse-pressure gauge, a device designed especially to register the magnetic flux variability of a magnetic marker placed superficially on the skin over a blood vessel. It is presented the implementation of a device used for registration of the magnetic induction generated by the periodical movements of a magnetic marker (MM) by using a magnetoresistive transductor, which is placed superficially on the skin (non-invasive) over a blood vessel, at the cervical level in the path of the left carotid, identified by the amplitude of the arterial pulse.
