Abstract:
1. A blood pressure measuring method, comprising: determining a blood pressure value of a patient during a single blood pressure measurement cycle; measuring a pulse sequence of the patient during the single blood pressure measurement cycle; automatically determining with an evaluating device whether the blood pressure value was measured at a circulatory rest of the patient during the single blood pressure measurement cycle, by at least one of: a) ascertaining a pulse period progression ( b) ascertaining a pulse amplitude progression ( c) ascertaining a pulse curve of the pulse sequence, analyzing a shape of the pulse curve ( the evaluating device determining and indicating whether the blood pressure value was obtained during the circulatory rest, or whether a corrected blood pressure value is to be determined; wherein the evaluating device automatically performs at least two of: step a), step b), or step c), to determine the circulatory rest, and further comprising applying a different weighting to each of the at least two of the steps a), b), or c) in determining the circulatory rest.
