[A stand equipped with a tonometer for measuring arterial pressure during veloergometry].

A special stand with a fixed mercury tonometer has been designed providing an easy and convenient position of the patient's relaxed hand with the outstretched elbow joint on it for repeated measurements of blood pressure during bicycle ergometry. Taking the hand away neither deranges the position of the rider nor limits the intensive pedaling. The stand design is very simple, reliable and convenient to use. The optimal conditions for accurate measurements of the blood pressure during bicycle exercise are warranted.
