Abstract :
Pressure-volume catheterisation techniques can be employed to investigate cardiology workflow during the cardiac cycle in continuous real time. However, cost of a pressure-volume catheter is quite expensive when compared to medical fee for animal care in Thailand. This paper presents how to design and construct a pressure-volume catheter using a microelectronic pressure sensor and conductance techniques. Results show how possible to design and construct the pressure-volume (PV) catheter to estimate cardiac function.
