BLOOD PRESSURE METRE USED TO MEASURE PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AS BLOOD PRESSURE VALUE

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. A blood pressure metre comprises a first pneumatic chamber in a first cuff applied on a shoulder, a second pneumatic chamber in a second cuff applied on a lower limb, a measuring unit for synchronous blood pressure measurement in the first and second chambers, a detection unit for obtaining first and second blood pressure values by measuring internal pressure in the first and second pneumatic chambers respectively, and a computer assembly. The computer assembly performed a first computing procedure of calculating a first pulse wave velocity derived from the first and second blood pressure values, and a detection procedure to detect applicability of the first pulse wave velocity using the first and/or second blood pressure value.;EFFECT: using the invention enables providing higher accuracy of blood pressure measurement in arteriosclerosis.;7 cl, 10 dwg
