PULSE PROPAGATION SPEED MEASURING INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING PULSE PROPAGATION SPEED IN CONSIDERATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE

摘要

A pulse propagation speed measuring instrument (10) has an HBP input unit (36) for inputting the blood pressure value measured at home in advance. A PWV calculating section (32) calculates the pulse propagation speed according to the pulse actually measured in an examination room. In light of the blood pressure value measured by an OBP calculating section (33) and the home blood pressure value HBP, a PWVh calculating section (34) calculates the pulse propagation speed according to the pulse propagation speed calculated by the PWV calculating section (32).
