  • Abstract
    A computer-based system has been developed which reads blood pressure and heart rate of test animals used in cardiovascular research. The system employs an FM tape recorder and controller for data acquisition, contains positive identification of readings, and relies on an efficient algorithm for determining heart rate and blood pressure from recorded signals. The system has resulted in more accurate readings and has yielded considerable labor savings.
