Description
This invention is related to detection of blood pressure, blood flow and heart rhythm abnormalities (intermittent or continuous) by detection of emitted light absorption, such as red or infrared light or Laser or microwave signal absorption. Non-invasive measurement of emitted light signal absorption is measured from finger, ear, head, or any different part of the human or animal body. Invasive or semi-invasive measurement can be also performed by placement of specific sensors and/or catheter measurements in different parts of the human or animal body. It will also provide additional physiologic and pathologic information when combined with other biologic signals.
