Biomedical Engineering
Cardiovascular Physiology
Medical Device Technology

Background:

Accurate, long-term monitoring of cardiovascular parameters is crucial for managing chronic conditions.
Current methods for monitoring arterial health and cardiac events can be invasive or provide intermittent data.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate extravascular impedance plethysmography as a method for accurately monitoring cardiovascular parameters.
To develop an implantable sensor for continuous, long-term surveillance of cardiac events and arteriosclerotic progression.

Main Methods:

Theoretical modeling of impedance plethysmography applied extravascularly to large arteries.
Ex vivo validation using excised arterial tissues.
In vivo measurements in living organisms to assess cardiovascular parameter accuracy.

Main Results:

Demonstrated high accuracy in monitoring cardiovascular parameters, including blood pressure, using extravascular impedance plethysmography.
Confirmed the viability of the method through theoretical, ex vivo, and in vivo experimental data.
Sensor design facilitates long-term implantation for continuous monitoring.

Conclusions:

Extravascular impedance plethysmography is a viable and accurate method for monitoring key cardiovascular indicators.
The developed implantable sensor holds significant potential for long-term patient monitoring of cardiac health and atherosclerosis.
