History and evolution of blood pressure measurement [PDF]

Clinical Hypertension
Hypertension is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hypertension mostly accompanies no symptoms, and therefore blood pressure (BP) measurement is the only way for early recognition and timely treatment. Methods for BP measurement have

Comparison of automated office blood pressure measurement with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement

Blood Pressure, 2022
Purpose Although 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (24-h ABPM) is the most important method to establish true hypertension, in clinical practice often repeated automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurements are used because of ...

Cuffless Blood Pressure Measurement

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2022
Cuffless blood pressure (BP) measurement has become a popular field due to clinical need and technological opportunity. However, no method has been broadly accepted hitherto. The objective of this review is to accelerate progress in the development and application of cuffless BP measurement methods. We begin by describing the principles of conventional

A Feasibility Study of Non-Invasive Continuous Estimation of Brachial Pressure Derived From Arterial and Venous Lines During Dialysis

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2021
Objective: Intradialytic haemodynamic instability is a significant clinical problem, leading to end-organ ischaemia and contributing to morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis patients.

Can blood pressure be measured without undressing patients ?

Bulletin de la Dialyse à Domicile, 2021
The guidelines recommend that the technique of measuring arterial blood pressure requires positioning the cuff on a bare arm, without rolled-up sleeve.

Office blood pressure versus ambulatory blood pressure measurement in childhood obesity

BMC Pediatrics, 2023
Background The prevalence of obesity-related co-morbidities is rising parallel to the childhood obesity epidemic. High blood pressure (BP), as one of these co-morbidities, is detected nowadays at increasingly younger ages.

Serial blood pressure measurements [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2002
The objective of the present investigation was to study the effects of a 60-s interval of venous congestion between two noninvasive measurements of arterial blood pressure (ABP) on the fluctuation of ABP, assessed by the standard deviation of the differences between two readings.

Accurate Measurement of Blood Pressure

Artery Research, 2020
Accurate Blood Pressure (BP) measurement is vital for appropriate diagnosis and management of cardiovascular risk. However, questions remain on the accuracy of cuff BP compared with invasive (intra-arterial) BP.

Methods of Contactless Blood Pressure Measurement

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022
Contactless blood pressure monitoring displays a chance for detecting hypertension and increasing the awareness of cardiovascular diseases. Camera-based methods show high potential for replacing inconvenient cuff-based technology.
