title: Measurement of intra-arterial blood pressure and cardiac output through the bovine artegraft. Hemodynamic measurements through the bovine artegraft.
abstract: 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.
