Abstract
A blood-pressure measuring apparatus including a cuff which is adapted to be worn on a portion of a living subject to press the portion, an augmentation-index determining device for determining an augmentation index of the subject based on a cuff pulse wave obtained from the cuff, and a cuff-pulse-wave obtaining device for obtaining, during a pressing period in which the cuff presses the portion of the subject for measuring a blood pressure of the subject, the cuff pulse wave from the cuff so that the augmentation-index determining device determines the augmentation index based on the obtained cuff pulse wave.
Claims5
A blood-pressure measuring apparatus comprising:
- a cuff which is adapted to be worn on a portion of a living subject to press said portion;
- an augmentation-index determining means for determining an augmentation index of the subject based on a cuff pulse wave obtained from the cuff;
- and
- a cuff-pulse-wave obtaining means for obtaining, during a pressing period in which the cuff presses said portion of the subject for measuring a blood pressure of the subject, the cuff pulse wave from the cuff so that the augmentation-index determining means determines the augmentation index based on the obtained cuff pulse wave.
