Unfortunately, cuffed BP measurement creates some inconvenience for the patient and can be inaccurate due to incorrect cuff placement. In connection with the problems caused by cuff methods, it has become necessary to develop cuffless methods for measuring blood pressure, which are based on the relationship of blood pressure with various manifestations of cardiac activity and hemodynamics, which can be recorded and measured non-invasively, without the use of a compression cuff and with simple technical means |
