What's the difference between sphygmogram and sphygmograph?
Sphygmogram
Definition:
(n.) A tracing, called a pulse tracing, consisting of a series of curves corresponding with the beats of the heart, obtained by the application of the sphygmograph.
Example Sentences:

(5) Changes in the arterial wall were noted in 85% of the 14 patients in whom carotid sphygmograms were recorded.
(6) The idea of the genesis of the carotid sphygmogram from the kinetocardiogram (GS-KCG) was developed on the basis of the analysis of the KCG and carotid-sphygmographic (CSG) pattern obtained in 10 young healthy adults.
(7) His clinical studies were done without the benefit of a sphygmomanometer but with the aid of a quantitative sphygmogram that he had initially developed while a medical student.
(8) The changes in the second segment and the appearance of the anacrotic segment determine the peculiarities of the sphygmograms that are typical for aortic stenosis.
(9) The differential and volume sphygmograms were recorded in the radial artery.
(10) Within the first week, all of the continuity solutions showed significant sphygmograms with a regular vascularization on the layer, this period of time concurred with the complete granulation phase of the ulcus.
(11) After a five-minute stoppage of the circulation, the following characteristic features of the differential sphygmogram were observed: 1) the differential curve assumed the shape of a triangle with a broad base; 2) the amplitudes of all wave components decreased, the B wave disappeared, the V2 wave was minimal, and the t2 time considerably extended.
(12) From this hypothesis and from the existence of a reflection wave starting at the aorta, the concept of the genesis of the sphygmogram from the kinetocardiogram was developed: the deformation starts at the aorta, is directed to the apex, is there reflected and propagated to the carotid artery.
(13) The sphygmogram with maximum amplitude was called optimum sphygmogram (OS) and its corresponding CP called optimum counter-pressure (OCP).
(14) On 71 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without measurable left-ventricular outflow tract gradients, with typical and atypical morphology (ascertained by catherisation of the right and the left heart and angiocardiography as well as selective coronarography) as well as also by catheter investigation including the cardiography of ascertained dilatative cardiomyopathy in 19 patients mechanocardiographic (systolic time analysis from the carotid sphygmogram as well as parameters of the diastole from the apex cardiogram) investigations concerning the heart function and the course were performed.
(15) Nowadays radial sphygmogram at wrist is usually taken as an objective index of pulse condition, but there are no good means to differentiate quantitatively Floating, Sunken, Feeble and Forceful pulses.
(16) Characteristic features of differential sphygmogram were investigated in persons in whom the radial circulation had been interrupted in order to produce a partial distension of muscular-type arteries and minute peripheral vessels.
(17) The paper summarizes the results of the experiments aimed at obtaining sphygmograms of peripheral and carotid arteries with due regard to the values of longitudinal dimensions of body and extremities in healthy subjects.
(18) In both groups significant quantitative differences in the sphygmograms were found which are indicative for reduced distensibility and indirectly for the degeneration of the arterial wall.
(19) An own procedure of quantitative analysis of the carotid sphygmogram is described.
(20) The frequency spectra of modulus and phase of the input impedance (Zin) of large human arteries (abdominal aorta, femoral and subclavian arteries) were computed from transcutaneously recorded, uncalibrated pressure and flow pulses picked up as sphygmograms and Doppler flow velocity pulses, respectively.
Sphygmograph
Definition:
(n.) An instrument which, when applied over an artery, indicates graphically the movements or character of the pulse. See Sphygmogram.
Example Sentences:
(1) On volunteers without heart diseases the cardiac output according to the Fick principle, the impedance-cardiographic and sphygmographic method at rest and under pharmacological influence is synchronously measured and statistically compared with the found cardiac output according to Fick.
(2) In 10 children with clinically and hemodynamically proven orthostatic dysregulation of the sympathetic type, non invasive hemodynamics using sphygmographic techniques as well as systolic time intervals were evaluated.
(3) The idea of the genesis of the carotid sphygmogram from the kinetocardiogram (GS-KCG) was developed on the basis of the analysis of the KCG and carotid-sphygmographic (CSG) pattern obtained in 10 young healthy adults.
(4) The scope of these investigations was an attempt to determine sphygmographic criteria for arterial distensibility, showing the degeneration of the arteries.
(5) In two groups (70 healthy subjects and 221 patients with reduced distensibility of the arterial wall) a significant correlation between PWV in the aorta and quantitative sphygmographic data could be shown.
(6) A study of continuous electrocardiographic and sphygmographic records in patients with atrial fibrillation demonstrated a regulatory effect of the heart's afferent systems.
