Summary:The present invention relates to a method for medical examination, in particular determination of a blood pressure, of an animal. The animal preferably has a paw and is in particular an animal of the subfamily of the Felinae. In the method, a curve comprising information about the arterial blood flow of the animal, in particular a photoplethysmogram, is recorded. According to the invention, the curve is cut into several curve sections in such a way that each curve section corresponds to a heartbeat. According to another independent aspect, a sensor or a subset of sensors is selected from several sensors of the same kind to perform the investigation. La présente invention concerne un procédé d'examen médical, en particulier la détermination d'une pression artérielle, d'un animal. L'animal a de préférence une patte et est en particulier un animal de la sous-famille des félinés. Dans le procédé, une courbe comprenant des informations concernant le débit sanguin artériel de l'animal, en particulier un photopléthysmogramme, est enregistrée. Selon l'invention, la courbe est découpée en plusieurs sections de courbe de telle manière que chaque section de courbe correspond à un battement cardiaque. Selon un autre aspect indépendant, un capteur ou un sous-ensemble de capteurs est choisi parmi plusieurs capteurs du même type pour effectuer l'examen.
