Abstract:
1. An electronic sphygmomanometer comprising: a cuff that is worn on a measurement area; an inflation and deflation unit that adjusts a pressure applied to the cuff; a pressure detecting unit comprising a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, that detects a cuff pressure within the cuff based on pressure information outputted from the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor; and a blood pressure calculation unit that calculates a blood pressure based on a change in the cuff pressure detected by the pressure detecting unit, an internal circuit board which is housed within a main body portion such that the internal circuit board is sloped relative to a mount surface; wherein the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are disposed upon a first main surface of the internal circuit board, and wherein a direction in which the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are aligned on the internal circuit board is a horizontal direction that is orthogonal relative to a direction in which the internal circuit board is sloped.
