Claim 0:
1. A system for analyzing a vasculature of a patient, the system comprising:
a blood pressure detection device configured to measure a series of arterial blood pressures of the patient;
an ultrasonic blood flow velocity detection device configured to measure a series of arterial blood flows of the patient; and
one or more processors configured to:
receive the measured series of arterial blood pressures output from the blood pressure detection device;
receive the measured series of arterial blood flows output from the ultrasonic blood flow velocity detection device;
synchronize the measured series of arterial blood flows with the measured series of arterial blood pressures; and
identify, from the measured series of arterial blood pressures, intervals of zero net capacitive blood flow comprising one cardiac cycle or less during which a change in the measured series of arterial blood pressures is zero.
