Superior-and -inferior-limb blood-pressure index measuring apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for measuring a superior-and-inferior-limb blood-pressure index of a living subject, comprising:
- an inferior-limb-blood-pressure measuring device which includes at least one inferior-limb cuff adapted to be wound around at least one inferior limb of the subject and which measures at least one inferior-limb blood pressure of the inferior limb;
a superior-limb-blood-pressure measuring device which includes at least one superior-limb cuff adapted to be wound around at least one superior limb of the subject and which measures at least one superior-limb blood pressure of the superior limb;
a blood-pressure-index determining means for determining the superior-and-inferior-limb blood-pressure index, based on the inferior-limb blood pressure measured by the inferior-limb-blood-pressure measuring device and the superior-limb blood pressure measured by the superior-limb-blood-pressure measuring device;
an inferior-limb-pulse-wave detecting device which is adapted to be worn on an inferior limb of the subject and which detects an inferior-limb pulse wave from the inferior limb; and
a stenosis-relating-pulse-wave-information obtaining device which obtains, based on the inferior-limb pulse wave detected by the inferior-limb-pulse-wave detecting device, stenosis-relating pulse-wave information which changes in relation with a degree of stenosis of an artery of the inferior limb.
