There are many perplexing problems, the solution of which would be materially furthered by having a continuous record of the variations in systolic and diastolic pressure. In 1928 we were confronted with the following question: does the blood pressure rise, in certain types of angina pectoris attacks, prior to the attack and thereby become a provocative factor of coronary insufficiency, or does the rise merely represent a consequence of the pain and the anxiety? The answer to this query depended...References1. BRANOWER W: Anesthesia complications and their management, Surg. Clin. North Am., 1937, xvii, 83-92.
