Methodological developments and problems of recorders for automatic, indirect, ambulatory 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure

Blood Pressure Measurements

Abstract

Blood pressure is a dynamic parameter subject to short-term (e. g., beat-to-beat) and long-term (e. g., circadian rhythm) variation. As early as 1898, Hill (1) was able to register daily blood pressure variations and a permanent blood pressure decrease during sleep by means of indirect palpitation with the aid of a sphygmograph. The auscultation of Korotkoff sounds above the brachial artery (2) — first described in 1905 — and its combination with an occlusion cuff according to Riva-Rocci (3) has become the most widely used procedure for the quantitative assessment of arterial blood pressure in daily routine. Stationary devices use auscultatory procedures by means of a microphone, Doppler sonography or oscillometry introduced by von Recklinghausen (5) in 1940 and different tonometric methods (piezofoils) (Table. 1).
