Abstract
A system for evaluating the cardiovascular system parameters using indicator dilution and non-invasive or minimally invasive detection methods is disclosed. Intravascular indicators are stimulated, and emission patterns detected for computation of cardiac output, cardiac index, blood volume and other indicators of cardiovascular health.
