Zusammenfassung:A method of measurement and calculation of intracardiac pressures based on non-invasive medical imaging is presented, wherein the pressure measurements are performed by means of the image stream with further estimation of the volumes of oscillating traceable regions within the heart vicinity. The volume estimates are tied to pressure values in such oscillating traceable regions as left/right atria and ventricles, pulmonary artery and aorta. The invention permits to assess non-invasively and in real time the pressure in any part of the heart and large blood vessels, and calculate the major markers of heart failure, cardiomyopathy, ventricular ischemia, infarction and other heart related diseases.
