ABSTRACT:
Healthy living is closely associated with balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, avoiding smoking, and managing stress—factors that directly influence arterial health. Continuous arterial blood pressure can be monitored non-invasively using two major technologies: The Finapres™ volume-clamp device and the Colin® CBM-7000 radial artery tonometer. This study examines the discrepancies reported in the output of these two systems. By analysing their operating principles and modelling their mechanical and vascular responses under provocation, potential explanations for the conflicting measurements are explored
