This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of
140/80
mmHg or a value of
130/90
mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
2. Important Facts about Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AF)?
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, disorga-
nized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two upper chambers,
called the atria; causing them to contract irregularly (this is called fibril-
lation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
It often causes no symptoms, yet it significantly increases your risk of
stroke. You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.
Who should be screened for Atrial Fibrillation?
AF screening is recommended for people over 65 years of age,
since the chance of having a stroke increases with age. AF
screening is also recommended for people from the age of 50
years who have high blood pressure (e.g. SYS higher than 159 or
DIA higher than 99) as well as those with diabetes, coronary heart
failure or for those who have previously had a stroke.
In young people or in pregnancy AF screening is not recom-
mended as it could generate false results and unnecessary
anxiety. In addition, young individuals with AF have a low risk of
getting stroke as compared to elder people.

Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for AF
Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether you or your
family members have AF can help reduce the risk of stroke. Microlife
AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for AF whilst
taking your blood pressure.
Risk factors you can control
Early diagnosis of AF followed by adequate treatment can signifi-
cantly reduce the risk of getting stroke. Knowing your blood pres-
sure and knowing whether you have AF is the first step in proactive
stroke prevention.
