Abstract :
A simple noninvasive technique to obtain the ejection pressure from the flow measurement is presented. A simple electronic-analog model is designed and implemented to obtain the ejection pressure using a Doppler velocity probe. This technique can be extended to measure the arterial pressure pulses for the diagnosis of, for instance, occlusive vascular diseases
