Human blood pressure determination by sphygmomanometry.

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of sphygmomanometry for determining blood pressure levels in individuals.
• Participants underwent blood pressure measurement using sphygmomanometry, alongside a digital sphygmomanometer for comparison.
• Data were collected on various cardiovascular parameters including age and previous hypertension history.
• Sphygmomanometry demonstrated a measurement accuracy rate of 95% against digital readings, with a mean difference of 2 mmHg (95% CI, 0-4 mmHg).
• The method was effective in diagnosing hypertension with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 92%.
