Original Abstract Submitted

A sphygmomanometer configured to measure a blood pressure by compressing a part of a user to be measured with a cuff includes a blood pressure measurement unit configured to measure the user's blood pressure based on a pulse wave signal in a pressurization process of pressurizing a cuff pressure indicating an inner pressure of the cuff, a determination unit configured to determine whether an arrhythmia occurs in the user based on the pulse wave signal during the pressurization process, and a mode setting unit configured to set one of a first mode for executing the determining of the arrhythmia and a second mode for not executing the determining of the arrhythmia. The blood pressure measurement unit sets a first pressurization speed of the cuff pressure when the first mode is set to be lower than a second pressurization speed of the cuff pressure when the second mode is set.
