As pressure is released from the cuff through the deflation valve, blood flow returns to the artery producing pulse beats known as Korotkoff sounds, which are detected with the stethoscope. Systolic pressure is recorded at the onset of these sounds. Diastolic pressure is generally recorded when the sounds disappear (when blood flow to the artery returns to normal). 3.9.
