Abstract
Blood pressure and blood velocity can now be measured simultaneously, with relative ease, at the time of cardiac catheterisation. The capacity to make such measurements in the arterial system presents problems in interpretation and analysis. In this brief account we shall describe, first the waveforms recorded in the arterial circulation interpreting some aspects of the changes in wave form that are seen; secondly we shall give an account of the use of a small digital computer to process some of the records.
