What Is The IHB/AFib Indicator?
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm during the measurements,
the IHB/AFib indicator will appear on the display with the measurement
values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 15%
less or 15% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
IHB/AFib indicator frequently.
What Is The AFib?
The heart contracts due to electrical signals occurring in heart and sends
blood through the body. Arterial fibrillation (AFib) occurs when the electrical
signal in the atrium becomes confused and leads to disturbances in the
pulse interval. AFib can cause blood to stagnate in the heart, which can
easily create clots of blood, a cause of stroke and heart attack.
%IHB/AFib is displayed as frequency of IHB/AFib detected.
IHB/AFib can detect not only noises such as physical movement but also
an irregular heartbeat. Therefore, we recommend contacting your
physician if %IHB/AFib level is high.
