ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the non-invasive monitoring of the arterial blood pressure of a subject are described in which a plurality of discretely-spaced single-polarity pressure pulses, each having a duration which is a fraction of the duration of the subject's blood pressure pulse, are applied to a local, discrete, external point of the subject overlying an artery to effect either a blocking or unblocking condition of the artery. When the condition is detected, the instant value of the applied pressure pulse is measured to thereby provide a measurement of the subject's blood pressure.
