Hypertension in the medical practice
Hypertension is considered a critical risk factor for a number of
cardiovascular related diseases. It is one of the main risk factors for stroke,
coronary heart disease, cardiac insufficiency and renal disease.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 20 % of the
world's adult populations has high blood pressure. The prevalence of
hypertension is even higher in the older population segments resulting in up
to 50 % of people affected.
These data reveal that blood pressure measurement plays a central role in
medical practice either as a screening method for undiagnosed individuals
or as treatment monitoring tool for diagnosed patients.
The importance of the blood pressure measurement in the doctor's office
calls for a high performance standard with regard to quality and reliability of
the professional measuring device. Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro has been
designed to meet these demanding requirements. The device guides the
user via arrows on the display to the medically recommended measuring
position close to the heart. In this way repeatable readings are achieved.
This watchdog feature allows patient self measurement in the doctor's
office, which may be beneficial in reducing the problem of white coat
hypertension.
With its technical design, Braun PrecisionSensor™ Pro is the ideal
supplementary device for the doctor's office.
