Abstract
In an electronic clinical sphygmomamometer of the type which measures blood pressure on the basis of a Korotkoff-sound signal in a pulse-wave gate signal, the level of a detected pulse-wave signal is compared with a predetermined threshold level to form a pulse-wave gate signal the duration of which corresponds to a period over which the level of the pulse-wave signal is higher than the predetermined threshold level. If no Korotkoff-sound detection signal is provided in the pulse-wave gate signal thus formed, the duration of the pulse-wave gate signal is extended by a predetermined time period. The thus-extended duration of the pulse-wave period required to measure the systatic blood pressure gate signal serves as the measurement.
