Embodiments of the present invention address the limitations of current central venous pressure monitoring by providing a noninvasive, non-implanted, and self-administered test for the determination of central venous pressure. Some embodiments use alterations in transmural pressure, optical measurements of venous volume, and anatomical measurements to determine central venous pressure. The system can provide an absolute measurement of central pressure and can be used to monitor relative changes in central venous pressure over time. Changes in transmural pressure are used to create detectable changes in peripheral venous vascular volume for central venous pressure measurement.
