A blood pressure measuring apparatus with a cuff comprises a cuff, an inflation unit, a deflation unit, a pressure sensor, a signal record and storage unit, and an operation and analysis unit. The operation and analysis unit is used to control the inflation unit and the deflation unit so as to increase the pressure within the cuff to a first pressure, maintain the pressure at the first pressure, then increase the pressure to a second pressure, and decrease the pressure. The blood pressure measurement is accordingly finished. The operation and analysis unit calculates an arteriosclerosis index based on a pulse waveform signal when the adjustable pressure unit maintains the pressure at the first pressure.一種可評估動脈硬化之血壓量測裝置，其包含一壓脈帶、一充氣單元、一洩氣單元、一壓力感測器、一記錄及儲存單元及一運算及分析單元。該運算及分析單元係用於控制該充氣單元及該洩氣單元，從而對該壓脈帶進行加壓至一第一壓力並維持一定時間，再增加至一第二壓力而後進行減壓或洩壓以完成血壓量測。當該壓脈帶內之壓力被維持於該第一壓力時，該運算及分析單元根據脈搏波形訊號計算一動脈硬化指標。
