How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. 
Example: a readout value between 

150/85

 or 

120/98

 mmHg indi-

cates «blood pressure too high».

2. Important facts about atrial fibrillation (AFIB) 

What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?

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, disorganized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two 
upper chambers, called the atria; causing them to contract quickly 
fast and irregularly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is 

the most common form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heart beat. 
You can live with atrial fibrillation, but it can lead to other rhythm 
problems, chronic fatigue, heart failure and - worst of all - a stroke. 
You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.

How does AFIB impact my family or me?

One in every six strokes is AFIB-related. Whilst individuals above 
the age of 65 are more likely to have AFIB, individuals as young as 
40 can exhibit AFIB. Early diagnosis can help reduce the risk of a 
stroke.

Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to 
screen for AFIB (only in MAM mode)

Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether or not you or 
your family members have AFIB can help reduce the risk of stroke. 
Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for 
AFIB whilst taking your blood pressure.

Risk factors you can control

High blood pressure and AFIB are both considered «controllable» 
risk factors for strokes. Knowing your blood pressure and knowing 
whether or not you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke 
prevention.

Setting the date and time

•

Leave a small break

 of at least 15 seconds between two 

measurements.

•

If you are 

pregnant

, you should monitor your blood pressure 

very closely as it can change drastically during this time! 

•

If you suffer from an 

irregular heartbeat

, measurements 

taken with this instrument should only be evaluated after 
consultation with your doctor.

•

The pulse display is not suitable for checking the 
frequency of heart pacemakers!
