What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the
walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing
during the course of the heart’s cycle.
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood
Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure. Both
pressures, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to enable a
physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

What is Arrhythmia?

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal
due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat.
Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction,
an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse.

Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure
at Home?

Many factors such as physical
activity, anxiety, or the time of day,
can influence your blood pressure.
A single measurement may not be
sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Thus it is best to try and measure
your blood pressure at the same
time each day, to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood
pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and
increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and
higher in the winter.

How are hypertension and irregular heartbeat
linked to stroke?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) and atrial fibrillation are two
major risk factors of stroke.
Irregular heartbeat is a potential indicator of atrial fibrillation.
Omron Blood Pressure monitors can help to detect hypertension
and irregular heartbeat*.
If either or both are indicated by the device, we recommend to
consult your doctor.
NOTE: Diagnosis can only be made by a doctor
* Irregular heartbeat detection is available on most Omron blood

pressure monitors.
