Arteriosclerosis-degree evaluating apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for evaluating a degree of arteriosclerosis of a living subject, the apparatus comprising:
- a blood-pressure measuring device which measures a systolic and a diastolic blood pressure of the subject;
a pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device which obtains pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information that is related to a velocity at which a pulse wave propagates through an artery of the subject;
a display device; and
a control device which controls the display device to display, in a first two-dimensional graph defined by a first axis indicative of blood pressure and a second axis indicative of pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, at least one symbol indicating two positions one of which corresponds to the systolic blood pressure measured by the blood-pressure measuring device and the pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information obtained by the pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device, and the other of which corresponds to the diastolic blood pressure measured by the blood-pressure measuring device and said obtained pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information.

Abstract
An apparatus for evaluating a degree of arteriosclerosis of a living subject, the apparatus including a blood-pressure measuring device which measures a systolic and a diastolic blood pressure of the subject, a pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device which obtains pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information that is related to a velocity at which a pulse wave propagates through an artery of the subject, a display device, and a control device which controls the display device to display, in a two-dimensional graph defined by a first axis indicative of blood pressure and a second axis indicative of pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information, at least one symbol indicating two positions one of which corresponds to the systolic blood pressure measured by the blood-pressure measuring device and the pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information obtained by the pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related-information obtaining device, and the other of which corresponds to the diastolic blood pressure measured by the blood-pressure measuring device and the obtained pulse-wave-propagation-velocity-related information.
