Accurate, easy‐to‐use, noninvasive cardiovascular pressure registration would be an important addition to the diagnostic armamentarium for assessment of cardiac function. A novel noninvasive and three‐dimensional (3D) technique for estimation of relative cardiovascular pressures is presented. The re...
