Measurement of intra-arterial blood pressure and cardiac output through the bovine artegraft. Hemodynamic measurements through the bovine artegraft.
Serial hemodynamic studies have become increasingly important in hypertension research. These studies have been accomplished using the A-V shunt. The progressive decline in the number of A-V shunts in favor of the A-V fistula has limited the number of measure cardiac output, the intra-arterial blood pressure cannot be measured through it. The present paper describes a technique for measuring both the cardiac output and direct intra-arterial blood pressure using the bovine artegraft.
