Title
Intravascular pressure monitoring system
Abstract
Monitoring of blood pressure and pulse rate offers diagnostical and therapeutical opportunities in hypertension disease and arrhythmia, respectively. This paper presents an intravascular pressure monitoring system consisting of an implantable silicone capsule, which can be placed in the arterial system via a catheder. The capsule contains a pressure sensor and signal conditioning circuitry for wireless data and energy transfer using 6.78 MHz transponder technology.
