Cuff pulse wave detecting apparatus and pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information obtaining device

摘要

A cuff pulse wave detecting apparatus including: a main portion; a cuff which is remote from the main portion and which is adapted to be worn on a body portion of a living subject; and a pressure sensor which is connected to the cuff for detecting a pressure in the cuff, the cuff pulse wave detecting apparatus detecting a cuff pulse wave as a pressure oscillation transmitted from the subject to the cuff, wherein the pressure sensor is provided between the main portion and the cuff.
