APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES BY SENSING ARTERY WHEN QRS-COMPLEX OF ECG GENERATED

摘要

PURPOSE: An automatic blood pressure monitor for measuring artery and outputting blood pressure values only at the moment when the QRS-complex of ECG occur is provided to detect stably signals measuring ECG, thereby being used for an exercise tolerance tester and a disease patient-dedicated tester. CONSTITUTION: An automatic blood pressure monitor measures electrocardiogram (ECG) (S110). The automatic blood pressure monitor detects a specific waveform from the measured ECG. The automatic blood pressure monitor extracts initial and end points of QRS-complex (S120). The automatic blood pressure monitor measures blood vessel energy information at an interval between the initial and end points of the QRS-complex (S130). The automatic blood pressure monitor outputs blood pressure information based on the blood vessel energy information (S140).
