ARTERIAL SCLEROSIS EVALUATING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arterial sclerosis evaluating device capable of easily evaluating arterial sclerosis. SOLUTION: The actual age A of an organism and the actual lowest blood pressure value BPDIA measured by a blood pressure measuring means 80 are substituted in a preset normal pulse wave propagation speed calculating expression by a normal pulse wave propagation speed information calculating means 90 to calculate a normal pulse wave propagation speed PWVno in the age A and the lowest blood pressure value BPDIA when the organism is normal to calculate an actual pulse wave propagation speed PWVac on the basis of an actually measured pulse wave by an actual pulse wave propagation speed information calculating means 88 to calculate a difference ΔPWV(=PWVac-PWVno) between the actual pulse wave propagation speed PWVac and the normal pulse wave propagation speed PWVno as an arterial sclerosis index Ia by an arterial sclerosis index calculating means 92. Since the actual pulse wave propagation speed PWVac becomes a value separate from the normal pulse wave propagation speed PWVno as arterial sclerosis makes progress on the organism, even an unexperienced person can easily evaluate the arterial sclerosis by the arterial sclerosis index Ia calculated as the difference ΔPWV between the actual pulse wave propagation speed PWVac and the normal pulse wave propagation speed PWVno.
