An automated sphygmomanometer tightens around a
patient’s arm at a pressure of 250 mmHg, and gradually relieves
pressure at a rate of 12 mmHg/sec. A microphone in the cuff records
the onset of Korotkoff sounds after 9.6 seconds, and the sounds end
after 16.5 seconds.
(a) What are the systolic and diastolic blood pressure
values?
(b) Determine for each pressure value, whether it is high, low, or
normal. If you find some values are abnormal, suggest a possible
cause for the abnormalities. Cite any sources you used.
