(author)Background: Continuous beat-to-beat noninvasive blood pressure (BP) measurement is possible with Portapres®. It constructs finger arterial waveforms beat-to-beat. Dedicated software is used to analyze the arterial waveforms. A new technique has been developed to reconstruct brachial intraarterial pressure that uses return to flow (RTF). This...article 2002

TNO Biomedical Instrumentation (author), van Popele, N.M. (author), Bos, W.J.W. (author), de Beer, N.A.M. (author), van der Kuip, D.A.M. (author), Hofman, A. (author), Grobbee, D.E. (author), Witteman, J.C.M. (author)Oscillometric blood pressure devices tend to overestimate systolic blood pressure and underestimate diastolic blood pressure compared with sphygmomanometers. Recent studies indicate that discrepancies in performance between these devices may differ between healthy and diabetic subjects. Arterial stiffness in diabetics could be the underlying...article 2000
