Re: For systolic BP, is it the first visible pulse or first audible pulse?

In my case there's a difference. As the cuff is deflated, I can see
on the gauge small pulses taking place about 10 points higher than
where the first audible pulse takes place. Which point is my
systolic pressure?

The audible.

If it's the first audible, how do automatic machines, which only
detect pulses, determine the correct pressure?

Computationally.

May GOD continue to help you with your needs, dear neighbor Peabody
whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
