Clinical Study
Cuffless Blood Pressure Study in Patients with Cardiovascular Conditions
This study aims to test bioimpedance technology to measure blood pressure in patients. Normally people measure their blood pressure with an inflatable cuff on their arm. Bioimpedance technology involves placing sensors in the skin for non invasive recordings. People in this study will wear this new device at the Heart Failure Clinic at the University of Utah Medical Center. These will help us get more measurements to see if the technology works. The study session will last about 30 minutes.
