Useful Information about Blood Pressure
Understand what blood pressure is, the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure, and the concept of arrhythmia. Measuring blood pressure at home regularly provides a more accurate indication of your health status than single readings. Hypertension and irregular heartbeat are significant risk factors for stroke, and this monitor can help detect them.
