That'd be a sphygmomanometer. Learn to spell it and impress your friends.
[You'll also need a stethoscope to correlate the pressure to the pumping of the heart.]

What is Starling's Law of the capillaries?
The hypothesis that fluid filtration through capillary membranes is dependent on the balance between the pressure the blood places on the membranes and the osmotic pressure of the membranes. The law relating to the passage of fluid out of a capillary depending on the hydrostatic and osmotic pressures of the blood and the same pressures of tissue fluid, the net effect of the opposing pressures determining the direction and rate of flow.
