PP (Pulse Pressure) MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) This measurement device provides the pulse The WatchBP Office Central device measures the true pressure (PP) of the patient: pulse pressure = systolic mean arterial pressure (MAP). Each measurement includes a single MAP value. The average - diastolic pressure.
WatchBP Office Central Appearance of the atrial fibrillation indicator for early detection The WatchBP Office Central is designed to screen for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation during blood pressure SCREEN measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode. If two out of three measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode detect atrial fibrillation, the Afib icon is displayed.
Special Function (cont.) About Atrial Fibrillation (Afib) Afib is a common heart rhythm problem. It affects A doctor can confirm the presence of Afib by using a more than 2 million people in North America. It is 12-lead ECG. Sometimes Afib is present incidentally. more common in older age and it is found in 18% Therefore, a doctor may not see it on regularly individuals aged 85 years and older.
