Non-invasively estimating the heart's pressure and pressure waveform with features related to cardiac function and arterial properties by using a conventional BP cuff inflated to low pressure. The patent provides a non-invasive, simple, and operator-independent tool to clinically diagnose cardiovascular system and estimate risk of having heart disease which otherwise require an invasive procedure. The method in principle can be implemented in BP cuff devices and improve their capability.
