<p>An apparatus (10) for measuring a superior-and-inferior-limb blood-pressure index of a living subject, including a first blood-pressure measuring device (86) which measures a first blood pressure of an inferior limb (12, 16) of the subject, a second blood-pressure measuring device (88) which measures a second blood pressure of a superior limb (20) of the subject, an index determining means (96) for determining the superior-and-inferior-limb blood-pressure index, based on the first blood pressure measured by the first blood-pressure measuring device and the second blood pressure measured by the second blood-pressure measuring device, an information obtaining device (72, 76, 89) which obtains propagation-velocity-relating information (DT, PWV, PWVC) relating to a velocity of propagation of a pulse wave which propagates between two different portions of the subject, and a display device (70, 98, 100) which simultaneously displays the superior-and-inferior-limb blood-pressure index determined by the index determining means and the propagation-velocity-relating information obtained by the information obtaining device. <IMAGE></p> |
