The Handbook of Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring : A Practical Guide for Clinicians, Researchers, and Engineers

"This book is the first comprehensive overview of the emerging field of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Increasing clinical evidence proves that longitudinal measurements of blood pressure allow for earlier detection and better management of multiple medical conditions and for superior prediction of cardiovascular events. Unfortunately, today's clinical and industry standards for blood pressure monitoring still require the inflation of a pneumatic cuff around a limb each time a measurement is taken. Over the last decades clinicians, scientists and device manufacturers have explored the feasibility of technologies that reduce or even completely eliminate the need of cuffs, initiating the era of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Among the existing literature, this book is intended to be a practical guide to navigate across this emerging field. The chapters of the handbook have been elaborated by experts and key opinion leaders in the domain, and will guide the reader along the clinical, scientific, technical, and regulatory aspects of cuffless blood pressure monitoring." -- prové de l'editor Front Matter ....Pages i-xii Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring and the Advent of a New Era in Medicine and Society (Alberto Avolio, Fatemeh Shirbani, Isabella Tan, Mark Butlin)....Pages 1-7 Clinical Relevance of Continuous and Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring (Gianfranco Parati)....Pages 9-13 A Historical Journey on the Physiology of Blood Pressure Monitoring (Audrey Adji, Michael F.
