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 prob-

lems, 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 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 you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke prevention.
