Radiotelemetry of direct blood pressure measurements in the arterial and pulmonary circulation.

Abstract

Radiotelemetry of direct blood pressure measurements in the arterial and pulmonary circulation is assessed in most practical situations of everyday life and sport activities. Comparison of radiotelemetric data with values estimated by practitioners, students and doctors of internal medicine demonstrates a general underestimation of everyday physical and emotional stress, whereas car driving is heavily overestimated. A wide difference is also found in swimming, isometric exercise and the cold phase of the sauna bath.
