If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken
with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation
with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indi-
cates «blood pressure too high».
2. Important facts about atrial fibrillation (AFIB)
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat.
Certain cells in your heart produce electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract and pump blood. Atrial fibrillation occurs when
rapid, disorganized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two
upper chambers, called the atria; causing them to contract quickly
fast and irregularly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is the
most common form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heart beat. You
can live with atrial fibrillation, but it can lead to other rhythm prob-
lems, chronic fatigue, heart failure and - worst of all - a stroke.
You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.
How does AFIB impact my family or me?
One in every six strokes is AFIB-related. Whilst individuals above the
age of 65 are more likely to have AFIB, individuals as young as 40
can exhibit AFIB. Early diagnosis can help reduce the risk of a stroke.
Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen
for AFIB (only in MAM mode)
Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether or not you or
your family members have AFIB can help reduce the risk of stroke.
Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for
AFIB whilst taking your blood pressure.
Risk factors you can control
High blood pressure and AFIB are both considered «controllable»
risk factors for strokes. Knowing your blood pressure and knowing
whether or not you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke
prevention.
