Comparative StudyContinuous, non-invasive volume-clamp blood pressure: determinants of performance.
To test a prototype hydraulic, non-invasive, continuous finger blood pressure monitor based on the volume-clamp principle for procedure-related factors likely to influence precision. ⋯ Variations in positioning of the finger within the cuff influences blood pressure measurement during volume-clamp plethysmography, reducing its precision. Finger SBP exceeds brachial auscultatory readings and has similar precision.

Characteristics of a community-based distribution of home blood pressure in Ohasama in northern Japan.
To evaluate the distribution, reference values and day-to-day variation of blood pressure of untreated subjects measured at home. ⋯ Since the distribution of home blood pressure values was affected by age and sex, age- and sex-matched reference values for home blood pressure should be established. Home blood pressure values in elderly subjects should be evaluated carefully, since these exhibit greater day-to-day variation.
