Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring the presence of arteriosclerosis in an individual includes detecting an ECG signal of the individual's heart, detecting a blood front wave in a peripheral artery of the individual, and measuring the time lag between a predetermined reference point of the detected blood front wave and a predetermined reference point in the ECG signal to provide an indication of the cardiovascular condition of the individual, particularly arteriosclerosis or arterial obstruction.
