<b>Fundamental Study on the Measurement of Blood Pressure by Kampo Pulse Examination</b> / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

<p>In 57 consecutively enrolled outpatients, blood pressure as measured by the traditional cuff method and blood pressure measured by Kampo pulse examination were compared. As a result, a difference between the two methods was small, and blood pressure as measured by pulse examination appeared clinically acceptable. Considerably large differences between the two were observed in 4 patients, who tended to have hypofunctional constitutions.</p>
