Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.
This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation the diastolic blood pressure
value may not be accurate.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation using MAM-mode is recom-
mended for more reliable blood pressure measurement.
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AF)?
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, disorga-
nized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two upper chambers,
called the atria; causing them to contract irregularly (this is called fibril-
lation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
It often causes no symptoms, yet it significantly increases your risk of
stroke. You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.
Who should be screened for Atrial Fibrillation?
AF screening is recommended for people over 65 years of age, since
the chance of having a stroke increases with age. AF screening is
also recommended for people from the age of 50 years who have
high blood pressure (e.g. SYS higher than 159 or DIA higher than 99)
as well as those with diabetes, coronary heart failure or for those who
have previously had a stroke.
In young people or in pregnancy AF screening is not recommended
as it could generate false results and unnecessary anxiety. In addi-
tion, young individuals with AF have a low risk of getting stroke as
compared to elder people.
Risk factors you can control
Early diagnosis of AF followed by adequate treatment can signifi-
cantly reduce the risk of getting stroke. Knowing your blood pressure
and knowing whether you have AF is the first step in proactive stroke
prevention.
