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, a waveform analyzing device for analyzing a form of a cuff pulse wave which is obtained from the cuff, and a cuff-pulse-wave obtaining device for obtaining, before 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 waveform analyzing device analyzes the form of the cuff pulse wave.
Claims9
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;
- a waveform analyzing means for analyzing a form of a first cuff pulse wave which is obtained from the cuff;
- and
- a cuff-pulse-wave obtaining means for obtaining, before the cuff presses said portion of the subject for measuring a blood pressure of the subject, the first cuff pulse wave from the cuff so that the waveform analyzing means analyzes the form of the first cuff pulse wave.

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;
- a waveform analyzing means for analyzing a form of a cuff pulse wave which is obtained from the cuff;
- and
- a cuff-pulse-wave obtaining means for obtaining, after a pre-determined time duration has elapsed since the cuff finished pressing said portion of the subject for measuring a blood pressure of the subject, the cuff pulse wave from the cuff so that the waveform analyzing means analyzes the form of the cuff pulse wave, the time duration being so pre-determined as to allow a tissue of said portion of the subject to recover to a condition thereof before being pressed by the cuff.
