BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WITH COMPENSATION FOR PHYSIQUE

摘要

BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WITH COMPENSATION FOR PHYSIQUE An automated blood pressure measurement apparatus and method which includes an inflatable cuff at a predetermined height relative to where a user must sit or stand in order to comfortably use the apparatus including a correction arrangement which provides a numerical correction for a hydrostatic pressure differential between the heart level of a user in a posture implied by the predetermined height of the cuff based on the user's overall height and a standard posture for measuring blood pressure at which the cuff height is at approximately the same level as the heart level when blood pressure is measured.
