To measure ones blood pressure not using stethoscope we can obtain systolic pressure! now can we also get the diastolic pressure by applying this method and how accurate the result can be?
Dear Farid,
Maybe the following papers will help you:

Sometimes the noise level of work area may make it very difficult to listen to the patient’s pulse with a stethoscope or you may not have a stethoscope available.In such cases, use your fingertips (not thumb) to feel the pulse instead of using a stethoscope to listen for the pulse.
We have just finished a study that clinically tested an algorithm that computes systolic and diastolic blood pressure from pulse wave velocity. The results are promising and at least at rest we met the recommendations of the IEEE standard for blood pressure measurement devices without cuffs.
An individual one-point calibration was needed and also after a week the values where within the recommended limits. Changes of systolic pressure in the study could be predicted better than diastolic ones. Still the MAD (mean absolute deviation) was lower over all in the diastolic than the systolic values.
Hi Dr Moser. Was your wave propagation analysis made with multipoint sensors or a frequency shift (Doppler) single point acoustic sensor?
