👉 Sphygmographic is a medical terminology that describes the measurement of blood pressure. It involves the measurement of systolic and diastolic pressures, which are two types of blood pressure measurements commonly used in healthcare settings. Systolic pressure refers to the pressure measured above the heart's surface, while diastolic pressure measures the amount of space between the veins and arteries.
