Key result
The evolution of blood pressure measurement has progressed from simple pulse palpation and early invasive techniques to the Korotkov method, and is now advancing toward digital, cuffless, and wearable monitoring technologies.
Why the study?
Arterial pressure is an important physiological indicator, prompting a review of different measurement techniques, their advantages, limitations, and historical evolution.
This historical review traces the evolution of blood pressure measurement from early palpation and direct methods to modern sphygmomanometry, ambulatory monitoring, and emerging cuff-free wearable technologies.
Cuffless wearables may enter clinical use soon; leaves open validation standards and outcome data.
The arterial pressure is an important physiological indicator. The review describes the different techniques of measurement of arterial pressure, their advantages and limitations. Moreover, it also represents a historical reference about the main stage of the development of clinical sphygmomanometrya that nowadays is a relevant method for measuring arterial pressure. The emergence and the development of devices for daily monitoring of arterial pressure and modern techniques for non-invasive arterial pressure measurement are described too.
