Comparison of Systolic Blood Pressure Values Obtained by Photoplethysmography and by Korotkoff Sounds

Comparison of Systolic Blood Pressure Values Obtained by Photoplethysmography and by Korotkoff Sounds

In the current study, a non-invasive technique for systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurement based on the detection of photoplethysmographic (PPG) pulses during pressure-cuff deflation was compared to sphygmomanometry—the Korotkoff sounds technique. The PPG pulses disappear for cuff-pressures above...
