A system (1) for measuring blood pressure during a limited number of blood pressure cycles at an area (2) overlying an artery (3) of a living subject, comprising means (4) for applying a pressure (P) to the artery for occluding said artery in response to a pressure signal (Uprise), and for subsequently releasing said pressure to re-open said artery in response to a pressure release signal (Uprelease), and means (11) for computing, by comparing a first time duration (DELTAT1) with a second time duration (DELTAT2), a delay time (Tdelay1) from a reference point in time after which a next pressure release signal is to be supplied to said means (4) for applying a pressure, and for computing a pressure (P2) to be applied to said artery in a next measuring cycle, and for supplying subsequently a pressure signal (Uprise) and a pressure release signal (Uprelease) corresponding to said computed pressure (P2) and delay time (Tdelay1) to said means (4) for applying a pressure.
