<p>Disclosed are a method of measuring blood pressure, and an automatic sphygmomanometer for implementing this method, whereby it is possible to obtain an appropriate value of cuff inflation that is dependent upon the systolic blood pressure of a patient. Pulse waves are extracted from cuff pressure obtained through a pressure detector during inflation of the cuff, and the rate of change in the amplitude of the pulse waves is obtained by a control unit. When the rate of change obtained has exceeded a predetermined threshold value, it is judged that the internal cuff pressure has surpassed the patient's systolic blood pressure. In response, inflation of the cuff by means of a pump is terminated.</p> |
