Long term, implantable blood pressure monitoring systems.
An overview of implantable measurement systems suitable for the long-term, continuous monitoring of blood pressure is presented in this paper. The challenges, design considerations and tradeoffs inherent in these systems are overviewed and implantable sensors from both industrial and research environments are reviewed. The paper is concluded with an outlook of future directions for implantable blood pressure monitoring systems.
