Abstract
A pulse wave analyzing apparatus including a cufffor detecting a pulse wave from a living subject, a pressure sensorfor converting the pulse wave detected by the cuff, into an electric signal, i.e., a pulse wave signal SM, a plurality of band-pass filters(BPF(), BPF(), . . . , BPF(n)) that have respective low-side cuff-off frequency bands differing from each other and each receive the pulse wave signal SM, a provisional rising point determining devicefor determining respective times PS of respective provisional rising points of respective pulse waves represented by respective secondary pulse wave signals SMthat have passed through the band-pass filters, and a proper rising point determining devicefor comparing the respective times PS of respective provisional rising points with each other and thereby determining a time AS of a proper rising point based on the respective times PS of respective provisional rising points.
