“Silent killer” – High Blood Pressure

Heart and circulatory disease has been one of the biggest killers today. The symptoms of high blood pressure are not easily detected; therefore the condition is often referred to as “the silent killer”.

 

Did you know that one in every five Malaysia is at risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hypertension, also know as the client killer, can lead to CVD but because of presents little or no symptoms, you may not know you have it. The only saving grace is that hypertension is reversible but this is only possible through early detection and self monitoring.

 

REGULAR BP MONITORING CRITICAL

‘Although doctors can provide a blood pressure (BP) reading in their office, this is just a one – time, isolated measurement – and it may not always show a complete picture of the patient’s condition because they may be nervous (know as ‘ white coat hypertension’), or overly comfortable and trusting ( known as masked hypertension),’ says Dr Annabelle Volgman, associate professor of medicine at Rush Medical College.’ “ Therefore, regular BP monitoring at home is critical for adults to control their BP- and it’s the only viable way to detect morning hypertension.

 

RELIABLE AND EASY TO USE

Omron, the global No 1 selling brand of blood pressure monitors allows you to accurately monitor your blood pressure (BP) from the comfort of your own home. With over 100 million units sold worldwide, Omron BP monitor are reliable and simple to use.

 

Test have shown that self monitoring of BP is vital in determining the onset of more serious CVD, such as diabetes, stroke and heart disease. The American Heart Association recommend taking two or three ,measurements in the morning and in the evening in order to get the average reading. Average readings give a better indication of your BP.

 

Omron BP monitors are the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved morning hypertension monitor, that will alert you to a high weekly average, that is anything above the American Association’s  recommended BP level reading of 140/90mmHg. It comes with set memory capabilities that calculate an average value based on the last three measurements and alert you to readings that are out of normal range. The time and date of every measurement is recorded as well.

 

Studies have shown that repeated measurements by a nurse or home monitoring by patients themselves in fact, result in more complete and accurate readings.
