Abstract: Technology is described that can be used for continuous measurements of blood pressure and arterial blood flow to automatically derive time-varying estimates of multiple factors pertaining to a patient's vascular system. Such factors can include, but are not limited to, resistive flow, capacitive flow, vascular resistance, and arterial capacitance. Determination of such factors can allow for the meaningful assessment of the control of vascular resistance and capacitance in real time.
