aponorm ^® Professional Touch Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

Every year in Germany alone, around 280,000 people suffer a stroke. One in three of these results in permanent damage or even death. As a result, strokes rank third among the causes of death in Germany, after heart failure and heart attack. The most common cause of a stroke is atrial fibrillation, a dangerous form of cardiac arrhythmia. In this case, the blood can accumulate in the atria of the heart, clump together and form blood clots. These can later travel through the bloodstream to the brain, block the blood vessels there and lead to a stroke.

The insidious thing about atrial fibrillation is that it usually has no symptoms, especially in the early stages, and only occurs irregularly, meaning that it often goes undetected even during sporadic visits to the doctor. The aponorm ^® Professional Touch upper arm blood pressure monitor allows you to check for atrial fibrillation during normal, daily blood pressure measurement at home using its so-called Afib technology (Afib = Atrial Fibrillation = German: atrial fibrillation). Regular use increases your chance of detecting atrial fibrillation in good time and taking early action against it.

Functions & benefits at a glance:
