  • Publication number: 20230309934
    Abstract: An electronic sphygmomanometer includes a cuff pressure control unit, a pressure detection unit, and a blood pressure measurement unit that extracts a pulse wave signal and measures blood pressure based on the pulse wave signal. A pulse wave interval calculation unit obtains a data group representing pulse wave intervals based on the pulse wave signal obtained only in one depressurization process for a subject for each one measurement occasion. A determination unit aggregates data groups for three or more measurement occasions to obtain an average value of the pulse wave intervals, and determines whether or not there is a possibility that atrial fibrillation occurred based on whether or not there is data of an irregular pulse wave exceeding an allowable range with respect to the average value.
