  • Method and apparatus for identifying the valid systolic blood pressure of a person with hardened arteries
    Patent number: 7530954
    Abstract: A rising cuff pressure detects the diastolic blood pressure and continues to rise to generate a pulse amplitude profile. The systolic blood pressure is determined by a computation using data from the profile to discriminate against the contribution of a hardened artery, without requiring the cuff pressure to exceed the systolic blood pressure.
