Abstract
An arteriosclerosis evaluating apparatusincludes an arteriosclerosis evaluating procedure(Steps S, S, S, and S) that evaluates arteriosclerosis of a living subject, based on a relationship between difference ΔP of internal and external pressure of an artery of the subject in the state in which the pressure difference ΔP is in equilibrium, and amplitude AM of a pulse wave produced from the artery. Therefore, the present apparatuscan as easily as possible evaluate the arteriosclerosis of the subject based on a characteristic curverepresenting the relationship between in-equilibrium pressure difference ΔP and pulse-wave amplitude AM which curve is obtained from a pressing pressure Pc of a cuffwound around a certain portion of the subject, and the pulse wave produced from the artery.
