The management of hypertension is necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Patients with optimal blood pressure during the day can still be at risk for cardiovascular events if the night-time blood pressure is high.
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is an abnormal heart rhythm and the most common arrhythmia that impacts the measurement of blood pressure when using oscillometric techniques.
The treatment of hypertension is increasingly emphasized for more and more people, but how to measure blood pressure appears to have a low priority.
