Slope Method
There are many methods employed to determine how many slopes should be drawn and
what conclusions can be made about their intersection. As shown in Figure A-4, the cuff
pressure under the intersection of the slopes is treated as the systolic and diastolic
pressures. There is no standard for slope algorithms, just as there is no standard for height
algorithms.
