- Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) devices are used routinely to monitor patients with suspected high blood pressure, but they also offer the potential to screen for arrhythmia if the beat interval from the oscillometric cuff pressure waveform can be measured accurately. This study identifies the waveform landmarks that yield the most accurate beat interval measurements using a novel automated algorithm, validated against gold-standard electrocardiography. It confirms the potential of beat interval measurement during ABP monitoring and establishes a robust method for its incorporation into ABP devices for arrhythmia screening.
