Abstract:
A sphygmomanometer includes: a first fluid bag that is to be worn around a measurement site; first and second pulse wave sensors that are mounted on first fluid bag, and detect pulse waves of respective opposing areas of an artery running along measurement site; pressing parts that locally presses areas corresponding to first and second pulse wave sensors from an outer circumference side, opposite of an inner circumference side of first fluid bag where first and second pulse wave sensors are mounted. Blood pressure is calculated based on pulse transit time obtained from outputs from first and second pulse wave sensors, with first fluid bag in an unpressurized state and first and second pulse wave sensors being pressed by a pressing force of the pressing part. Blood pressure is calculated, for oscillometric blood pressure measurement, based on pressure within first fluid bag with first fluid bag in a pressurized state.
