Blood pressure measurement using the auscultatory method based on the (first) Korotkoff-sound
Korotkoff sounds are the sounds that medical personnel listen for when they are taking blood pressure using a non-invasive procedure. They are named after Nikolai Korotkov, a Russian physician who discovered them in 1905,[1] when he was working at the Imperial Medical Academy in St. Petersburg, the Russian Empire.[2]
