Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for recording and presentation of physiological parameters, which can include both blood pressure and heart pulse. Information about the heart pulse is derived from a recorded blood pressure signal, whereby the need for e.g. an external ECG measurement device is eliminated. It is likewise a part of the invention that a blood pressure measurement is used for the derivation of data such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and/or baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) values

1-5. -5. (canceled)
- 6. A handheld device for determining whether a patient suffers from for example autonomic neuropathy or stress, the handheld device comprising ECG electrodes for obtaining ECG signals from the patient, the handheld device further comprising a display device for guiding the patient correctly through an examination in order to determine whether the patient suffers from for example autonomic neuropathy or stress or not.

21. A method for determining whether a patient suffers from autonomic neuropathy, the method comprising the steps of
providing a handheld device comprising ECG electrodes for obtaining ECG signals from the patient, the handheld device further comprising a display device for guiding the patient correctly through an examination in order to determine whether the patient suffers from autonomic neuropathy or not, and graphically displaying, simultaneously on the display device, a desired exhale pressure, a measured exhale pressure from the patient, a corresponding lapsed time period and a remaining time period.
-
22. A method of recording and presenting physiological data from humans or animals wherein the method uses a measurement device, which can emit an electric signal proportional to the blood pressure of the measuring object, as well as being provided with technical means such as a digital signal processor for calculation of data such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) values, as well as being provided with interface electronics for connection of additional signaling units such as pressure transducers and manometers, and being provided with algorithms for user control, calculation and data presentation of examination sequences such as:
-
resting heart rate beat-to-beat heart rate variation heart rate response to standing heart rate response to Valsalva maneuver systolic blood pressure response to standing diastolic blood pressure response to isometric exercise
-
- 23. Device for recording and presentation of physiological data from humans or animals wherein the device/apparatus emits an electric signal, which is proportional to the blood pressure of the measuring object, as well as being provided with means such as a digital signal processor for recording and processing the blood pressure signal as well as algorithms for derivation of data such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and/or baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) values.
