A method for continuous sensing of blood pressure and vascular compliance without affecting the state of the patient has been devised. The scheme is based on sensing vascular distention by a capacitive method utilizing the fact that the dielectric constant of blood is different from the dielectric constant of the surrounding tissue. The vascular stiffness is determined by measuring the pulse propagation...
