ABSTRACT:
An automatic blood pressure measuring apparatus including an occluding device having a cuff to apply a pressure to a body member of a subject, and a blood-pressure determining device to determine a blood pressure according to a variation in a pulse wave in relation to a change in the cuff pressure. The apparatus comprises a detector for monitoring a blood circulatory system of the subject, and generating signals representing an abnormality associated with the circulatory system. The apparatus further comprises a control device for actuating the occluding device to apply the cuff pressure to the body member, and causing the blood-pressure determining device to execute a predetermined series of blood-pressure measuring steps to measure the blood pressure, thereby permitting an automatic measurement of the blood pressure of the subject when the blood circulatory system is found abnormal by the detector.
