Depiction of manual blood pressure measurement (with auscultation of Korotkoff sounds) in contrast to automated oscillometric measurement (which derives a mathematic curve called an oscillometric waveform envelope that uses proprietary algorithms to estimate the systolic and diastolic blood pressures).
