ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive automatic blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric technique. That is, a cuff is inflated and then deflated in discrete deflation steps, while the oscillations caused by movement of the arterial walls are recorded during each deflation step. If no oscillations occur, the deflation step is interrupted when a predetermined time period (t.sub.max) has expired. According to the invention, said predetermined time period (t.sub.max) is varied according to the heart rate (step 13). This leads to considerable reduction of required time for each measurement.
