ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring an inferior-and-superior-limb blood-pressure index of a patient, including an inferior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, a superior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, an index determining device for determining the inferior-and-superior-limb blood-pressure index, based on a blood pressure of an inferior limb measured by the inferior-limb blood-pressure measuring device and a blood pressure of a superior limb measured by the superior-limb blood-pressure measuring device, an inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information, obtaining device which obtains inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, an upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device which obtains upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, and an evaluation-information obtaining device for obtaining, based on the inferior-limb-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information and the upper-half-body-pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, evaluation information that is related to evaluation of reliability of the inferior-and superior-limb blood-pressure index.
