Non-invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring is of longstanding interest in various cardiovascular scenarios. In this context, pulse arrival time (PAT), i.e., a surrogate parameter for systolic blood pressure (change), became very popular recently, especially in the context of cuffless blood pressure measurement and dedicated lifestyle interventions. Nevertheless, there is also understandable doubt on its reliability in uncontrolled and mobile settings.
Objective: The aim of this work is therefore the investigation whether PAT follows oscillometric systolic blood pressure readings during moderate interventions by physical or mental activity using a medical grade handheld device for non-invasive PAT assessment...
