Kymograph

Kymograph (from the Greek kymos - wave and grapho - write) is a device designed for graphically recording the movement of blood through the vessels and changes in blood pressure.

The principle of operation of a kymograph is based on the mechanical transmission of movements of the vessel wall to a writing device. To do this, a small lever is attached to the vessel, connected to a drum, which rotates at a constant speed. A paper strip is wound onto a rotating drum. The lever transmits vibrations of the vessel wall to a pen, which records these vibrations on a moving paper tape.

Thus, a kymograph allows you to obtain a graphic image of pulse waves - a kymogram. Analysis of the kymogram provides information about the speed of blood flow, its periodicity, and the amplitude of pulse waves.

Kymography is a method of studying the cardiovascular system using a kymograph. This method has been used in physiological research for more than 100 years, despite the advent of more advanced technologies.



A kymograph is an instrument that is used to record blood flow and pressure changes inside human blood vessels. It consists of two main parts: a pressure sensor and a current sensor. The pressure sensor is placed on the patient's skin and measures the pressure inside the blood vessels, and the current sensor measures the blood flow through the vessels.

Kymography is a method used in medicine to study changes in blood flow and pressure within blood vessels. It allows doctors to obtain information about the state of the patient’s circulatory system and identify possible problems. Kymography can be used to diagnose various diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, varicose veins and others.

One of the advantages of kymography is its accuracy and sensitivity. It allows doctors to obtain information about blood flow and pressure inside vessels with high accuracy, allowing them to detect even minor changes. In addition, kymography is non-invasive and painless for the patient, which makes it especially attractive for use in medical practice.

However, like any other research method, kymography has its limitations. For example, it may not be effective when examining small vessels or in the presence of vascular lesions such as atherosclerosis. Also, to obtain reliable results, it is necessary to correctly install the sensors on the patient’s skin and correctly interpret the data obtained.

In general, kymography is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases of the circulatory system. It provides valuable information about a patient's condition and helps doctors make more informed treatment decisions.



A kymograph is a device designed to measure and record blood pressure. Kymographs are used in medicine to diagnose cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, arrhythmia and other heart rhythm disorders.

The kymograph works by creating a recording of blood pressure on a computer monitor that is connected to sensors mounted on the
