A method is disclosed for diagnosing, monitoring and treating cardiovascular pathologies. Among the hemodynamic parameters of interest are peripheral resistance, compliance, and cardiac (left ventricular) output. Peripheral resistance determined according to the present invention has been found to be a reliable indicate not only of hypertension, but also of the cause of the hypertension. The determined peripheral resistance can be compared against a predetermined threshold value. This comparison helps to foster a diagnosis of a hypertensive condition.

Procédé destiné au diagnostic, à la surveillance et au traitement de pathologies cardio-vasculaires. Les paramètres hémodynamiques à étudier comprennent notamment la résistance vasculaire périphérique, la compliance et le débit cardiaque (ventricule gauche). La résistance périphérique, telle que déterminée selon la présente invention, s'est révélée un indicateur fiable, non seulement de l'hypertension, mais également de ses causes. La résistance périphérique ainsi déterminée peut être comparée à une valeur seuil prédéterminée, et cette comparaison utilisée afin de diagnostiquer l'hypertension.
