Sažetak
An intracardiac blood flow velocity measurement device has a catheter adapted to be inserted through a blood vessel into the heart, at least two electrodes made of two different biocompatible materials mounted on the catheter at a detecting position which is located in a selected detecting area when the catheter is inserted into the heart for detecting blood flow velocity, with at least one of the electrodes being formed as a polarizable electrode and being disposed in the detecting position, and another of the electrodes being located on the catheter at an axially spaced distance from the polarizable electrode. Variation in an over-voltage or in a galvanic voltage is detected, and is used as a blood flow velocity signal.
