Abstract
A non-invasive technique for approximating the mean pressure value and blood pressure constant associated with the actual blood pressure in a particular artery of a given subject is disclosed herein. In accordance with this technique, a number of cuff pulses at varying cuff pressures are generated from the actual blood pressure of the subject and the mean value of the cuff pulse having a maximum peak to peak amplitude value is determined. This mean value is utilized as an approximation of the mean value of the patient's actual blood pressure and is also used in combination with the patient's diastolic and systolic blood pressures to provide the approximation of the patient's blood pressure constant.
