Abstract
In a device or in a method for oscillometric measurement of the blood pressure, the pulse time differences are determined associated with the measurement of the blood pressure. Subsequent pulse time differences are stored in a storing unit ( ). A distribution of pulse time differences is calculated in a calculating unit ( ) and compared in a comparing unit ( ) with predetermined reference values. If the distribution or the values of pulse time differences exceed a predetermined amount, an indication means ( ) is activated which indicates existence of arrhythmic activities.
