Cuff-based blood pressure measurement is the gold standard method for blood pressure monitoring. However, the wall of the sclerotic arteries (stiffen or thicken) generates extra resistance to the cuff pressure in the cuff-based blood pressure measurement, which tends to overestimate the blood pressure. This paper uses a collapse model to study the arterial deformation under the cuff pressure in the cuff-based blood pressure measurement, which gives the effects of arterial stiffness on measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure by cuff-based method, respectively. The results have general utility for future work in improving the accuracy of cuff-based BP measurement.

动脉僵硬度对基于袖带的血压测量的影响

基于袖带的血压测量是血压监测的金标准方法。然而，在基于袖带的血压测量中，硬化动脉壁（变硬或变厚）会对袖带压力产生额外的阻力，这往往会高估血压。本文使用塌陷模型研究基于袖带的血压测量中袖带压力下的动脉变形，分别给出了动脉僵硬度对基于袖带方法测量的收缩压和舒张压的影响。结果对未来提高基于袖带的血压测量准确性的工作具有普遍效用。
