An augmentation-index determining apparatus (10), including a cuff (12), a cuff-pressure changing device (16,18,24,50), a pulse-wave extracting device (28), means (54) for determining the times of occurrence of the peak points of the incident and reflected wave components during cuff-pressures higher than the systolic blood pressure, and lower than the mean blood pressure of the subject, and means (56) for determining an augmentation-index based on the magnitudes and times of occurrence of the determined peaks. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
