The article examines modern methods for measuring blood pressure and the condition of arterial vessels, emphasizing the use of the rheographic method as a promising alternative to traditional methods. The analysis revealed the shortcomings of existing approaches, such as auscultatory, oscillometric, and tacho-oscillometric methods, which are often accompanied by high measurement errors and result subjectivity. An improved rheographic method is proposed, providing more accurate and reliable determination of central aortic pressure (CAP) parameters and the ankle-brachial index (ABI). It is shown that multichannel rheography minimizes measurement errors and eliminates the need for generalized transformation functions, improving the accuracy of diagnostics and patient monitoring. The conclusions demonstrate that rheography is an effective tool for the non-invasive assessment of the cardiovascular system's condition and can significantly improve measurement accuracy in clinical practice.
