The gold standard is an arterial line, which unlike a blood pressure cuff, measures blood pressure directly and continuously. You will usually only see them used in intensive care or during surgery.

Right. That's an invasive procedure though. I was thinking along the lines of "gold standard of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring".
