Abstract:
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.
