Apparatus for remotely monitoring the left ventricle end diastolic pressure of a person includes an inflatable band for covering the artery of the person and applying a pre-determined pressure to the artery through the band. A pressure transducer in the inflatable band provides a pressure waveform signal representative of the pressure in the artery covered by the inflatable band. A waveform transmitter transmits the pressure waveform signal to a central location for processing the transmitted signal to provide LVEDP signal representative of the left ventricle end diastolic pressure of the person.
