1. Apparatus, comprising:
- a heartbeat measurement device, which is operative to sense a cardiac parameter of a patient and to generate a cardiac parameter signal responsively thereto;
an optical measurement device, which is operative to acquire data by emitting towards tissue of the patient 400-1000 nm light, and receiving light reflected from the tissue; and
an integrator unit, which is operative to receive the cardiac parameter signal and, in response thereto, to actuate the optical measurement device to acquire the data.

Abstract
Apparatus (2) is provided, including a heartbeat measurement device (3), which senses a cardiac parameter of a patient and generates a cardiac parameter signal responsively thereto. An optical measurement device acquires data by emitting towards tissue of the patient 400-1000 niti light, and receiving light reflected from the tissue. An integrator unit (10) receives the cardiac parameter signal and, in response thereto, actuates the optical measurement device to acquire the data.
