| Microlife Blood Pressure Monitors
Microlife Blood Pressure Monitors are manufactured by Microlife USA. The company’s first
product, the digital thermometer, was produced in 1981. Since then, Microlife USA has become the leading
manufacturer of digital and diagnostic health products. Their focus is on making quality health products that the
consumer can use at home.
Many things such as blood pressure, pulse and temperature can easily be
self-monitored. And many of the blood pressure monitors are made with software that is compatible with your PC, so
you can store or print out your results to take with you to your doctor visits.
Should you get a blood pressure monitor? If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, or if high blood
pressure runs in your family, you should definitely have one. High blood pressure is referred to as the “silent
killer” and affects over half the population.
Statistics for high blood pressure:
1.One in 3 adults has high blood pressure
2.73.6 million People in the United States over 20 have high blood pressure.
3.Not all causes of high blood pressure are known, but it is detectable and controlled with proper diet and
medication.
4.High blood pressure was the cause of death for 57,356 people in the U.S in 2005.
Having a monitor at home is beneficial if your doctor suspects you may have high blood pressure because it can be
monitored daily to establish a routine reading. And if you are already taking medicine to regulate blood pressure,
it can let you know when you may need to take it. Some people with high blood pressure only have to take medicine
on days when their blood pressure registers a high reading.
It can also help diagnose low blood pressure and arrhythmia as well. It has many uses and is helpful when
regularly. Often times the routine doctor visit may not detect high or low blood pressure readings because the
reading may be done infrequently, depending on how many doctor visits you make per year.
Microlife manufactures two types of blood pressure monitors; an arm cuff and a wrist cuff. Both are digital and
fully automatic.
Microlife blood pressure monitors can be used at home, on vacation at the beach, or in the mountains because they
adjust to the atmospheric pressure.
