Description: The utility of the continuous wave ultrasonic Doppler shift blood flowmeter has been demonstrated in a variety of experimental situations. Its suitability for telemetry of measurements of blood flow in association with arterial pressure has enabled studies in non-docile animals, eg. coronary flow in baboons, carotid flow in giraffes, and studies of near maximal exercise in unrestrained dogs. The mechanical and electrical features of the Doppler transducer discussed in another section of this Symposium enable routine three-month operation before transducer failure in chronic animals. Thus, within-animal comparisons of normal and induced disease states such as complete heart block, sever anemia, and congestive heart failure are possible.
