With a spectrophotometer, it measure the greatest amount of pressure exerted by the heart against the walls of the vessels and the least amount of pressure exerted...(thank God for Spell Check...)

Attach the cuo and pump until you no longer hear any heart beats with your stethoscope. Release the valve and listen for the first heartbeat, that's your systolic pressure, continue down until you don't hear a sound and that is you dystolic pressure....

For your information.

For a modest amount of money you can purchase a reliable, accurate, quick and simple to use blood pressure device. As well as your blood pressure it measures your pulse with date and time. The data is recorded, depending on model, for a minimum of 30 days/readings.
