Automatic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a valid and reliable tool for intermittent noninvasive assessment of blood pressure over a 24-hour period. However, reporting devices to retrieve data from the recording device are dedicated to one task and are expensive. Because of this, we have developed computer programs for a popular inexpensive microcomputer that retrieves data from the Del Mar Pressurometer III, an R-wave gated automatic ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device. Furthermore, the derived data may be edited, computed to derive statistics, stored, retrieved, displayed, and reported in both numerical and graphical format. This same hardware is used for multiple other tasks.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008838 Microcomputers Small computers using LSI (large-scale integration) microprocessor chips as the CPU (central processing unit) and semiconductor memories for compact, inexpensive storage of program instructions and data. They are smaller and less expensive than minicomputers and are usually built into a dedicated system where they are optimized for a particular application. "Microprocessor" may refer to just the CPU or the entire microcomputer. Computers, Personal,Microprocessors,Computer, Personal,Microcomputer,Microprocessor,Personal Computer,Personal Computers
