An apparatus for assessing cardiovascular status of a mammal comprises a system for locally applying a pressure (10) to an artery (8) capable of restricting blood flow through said artery (8), a wideband external pulse transducer (2) having an output and situated to measure suprasystolic signals proximate to said artery (8), and a computing device receiving said output for calculating vascular compliance values. The method described is particularly useful for determining cardiac output, assessing whether a pregnant female has preeclampsia or a patient has cardiac insufficiency, or assessing cardiac arrhythmias.

L'invention porte sur un appareil permettant d'évaluer l'état cardio-vasculaire d'un mammifère et comprenant un système pour appliquer localement une pression sur une artère et capable de limite le flux sanguin dans cette artère ; un transducteur d'impulsions externe, à large bande, ayant une sortie et positionné de façon à mesurer les signaux suprasystoliques à proximité de l'artère ; et un calculateur réceptionnant la sortie pour calculer des valeurs de compliance vasculaire. Ce procédé est notamment utile pour déterminer la sortie cardiaque, estimer si une femme enceinte est atteinte de prééclampsie ou si un patient a une insuffisance cardiaque ou évaluer l'arythmie cardiaque.
