Abstract
The invention relates to a measuring arrangement for measuring a pressure signal from a living body. The measuring arrangement comprises a sensor structure comprising a converter for converting the effect of the pressure signal measured from the body into an electrical signal. The measuring arrangement of the invention comprises a pressure transmission structure prior to the converter in the sensor structure, the pressure transmission structure comprising one or more pressure transmission elements. The pressure transmission structure is, through one or more pressure transmission elements, meant to be in direct or indirect contact with the body for detecting the pressure signal measurable from the body. The pressure transmission structure is, through one or more pressure transmission elements, connected to the converter for transmitting the effect of the pressure signal detected in the body to the converter in the sensor structure by means of one or more pressure transmission elements of the pressure transmission structure.
