To provide a heart rate meter that can easily acquire an instantaneous heart rate with high accuracy by using an oscillometric method.SOLUTION: A heat rate meter comprises a cuff 101, pressurizing means 102 for supplying pressurized air into the cuff, exhausting means 103 for exhausting the air in the cuff, detecting means 105 for detecting a pressure in the cuff, heart rate acquiring means 107 for acquiring an instantaneous heart rate depending on the pressure detected by the detecting means 105 when there is no pressure change in the cuff caused by exhaust of the exhausting means 103, and outputting means 108 for producing an output depending on the instantaneous heart rate acquired by the heart rate acquiring means 107.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
