Multi-functional blood pressure monitor

摘要

The multi-functional blood pressure monitor includes input unit for entering a value of blood pressure for calibration; unit for detecting a time interval detection reference point on an aortic pulse wave, unit for detecting a peripheral blood pulse wave as it appears later than the aortic pulse wave, unit (CPU) for measuring the pulse wave propagation time on the basis of the detection outputs from the unit for detecting a time interval detection reference point and the unit for detecting a peripheral blood pulse wave, first computing unit (CPU) for computing the values of parameters alpha and beta using the two values of blood pressure that have been entered for calibration and the two pulse wave propagation times that have been measured for calibration, second computing unit (CPU) for computing blood pressure from a measured pulse wave propagation time and the values of parameters alpha and beta , and display for presenting both the computed blood pressure and the value of parameter alpha which serves as an index for arteriosclerosis.
