説明

The objective of this study was to develop a novel triple-bladder cuff method for accurate and automated estimation of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and validate its reliability in animal experiments.The cuff is composed of three bladders each measured one-third the width of a conventional BP cuff, which are designed to measure oscillatory pulsation at the proximal, middle, and distal segments of the upper arm. This structure allows evaluation of the pulse wave propagation in the brachial artery under the cuff. SBP is estimated (SBPSBP correlated strongly with SBPThis method estimates SBP and DBP with acceptable accuracy.Accurate and automated BP estimation by this method may potentially optimize antihypertensive treatment in patients with hypertension.
