Q&A - Understanding Your Blood Pressure - What Your Numbers Really Mean

To mark World Hypertension Day 2026, we partnered with the World Hypertension League to bring together leading experts for a series of short, practical Q&As on blood pressure. In these bite-sized discussions, Professor Gianfranco Parati and Professor Markus Schlaich answer key questions on hypertension—covering topics such as how to measure blood pressure correctly, what the numbers really mean, and why regular monitoring matters.

Designed to be informative and easy to follow, these expert insights aim to support both awareness and better everyday management of cardiovascular health.

How Home Monitoring Supports Heart Failure Management

Heart failure management extends beyond the clinic. Discover how home monitoring with single-lead ECG supports earlier AFib detection, ongoing rhythm surveillance, and timely clinical reassessment for better long-term patient outcomes.

Hormonal Changes and Cardiovascular Risk in Women

Hormonal shifts across a woman's life - from PCOS to menopause - directly elevate cardiovascular risk.Hormonal shifts across a woman's life - from PCOS to menopause - directly elevate cardiovascular risk. Learn how to identify risk earlier and deliver more personalised preventive care for women.

Why Cardiovascular Risk Increases After Menopause

Menopause triggers hormonal and metabolic shifts that sharply elevate cardiovascular risk in women. Discover why early monitoring of blood pressure, heart rhythm, and body composition is essential for effective clinical intervention.

Key Risk Factors for Stroke: A Detailed Review for Patient Education and Prevention

Understanding the risk factors for stroke is essential for proactive prevention and effective patient education. Stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, yet a large proportion of cases are preventable when risk factors are identified early and managed consistently.

Patient Education on AFib: Effective Communication Strategies for Healthcare Professionals

Patient education is fundamental to managing atrial fibrillation effectively. When patients clearly understand their condition, they are more likely to follow treatment recommendations and participate in long-term self-management.

Recognizing Early Warning Signs of Cardiovascular Issues

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death across Europe, accounting for over 3.9 million deaths annually according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Early recognition and prompt response to cardiovascular symptoms are crucial for effective prevention and treatment.

How did French cardiologists rate the OMRON Complete device? The Complete Survey has the answers...

In a world where cardiovascular care demands precision, OMRON's innovative Complete blood pressure monitor was recently put to the test among French cardiologists. The OMRON Complete Satisfaction Survey casts light on how this device measures up for hypertension management and atrial fibrillation (AF) detection. So, what were the highlights, the challenges, and the implications for the future of cardiovascular care? Let’s take a closer look.

Might hypertension be a red flag for dementia?

When we think about maintaining our cognitive health, the connection to blood pressure may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, growing research suggests a close relationship between hypertension and the risk of dementia. As our global population ages, the focus on preventative measures is more critical than ever. Could keeping a closer eye on our blood pressure—perhaps even at home—be a key step in protecting the brain?

Validated Blood Pressure monitors matter more for some patient populations

In managing hypertension, certain patient populations face heightened risks and complexities, requiring precise monitoring and management

Detecting Atrial Fibrillation while there is still time to act

Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that significantly increases the risk of stroke in people with hypertension. With the revolutionary Intellisense AFib technology you can screen for atrial fibrillation during every blood pressure measurement.

Hypertension and sports

Awareness of hypertension risks and management is key for athletes, and those regularly involved in sports

2023 Update Guidelines on Arterial Hypertension by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)

The ESH has updated their guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension, with greater emphasis on the use of clinically validated devices.

How home devices can support early detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

When you’re looking after patients with potential heart problems, the speed of a diagnosis can make all the difference. That’s why using a home ECG or blood pressure devices can help you and your patient.
