Korotkoff sounds are the sounds that healthcare professionals listen for when measuring blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. They are named after Russian physician Nikolai Korotkoff, who first described them in 1905. When blood pressure is measured, a cuff is inflated around the arm, stopping blood flow in the artery.
