More than half the number of people suffering from high blood pressure are unaware of it. The
most common cause of death in today's society is from diseases that are directly related to the
problem of high blood pressure. This Blood Pressure Monitor allows you to measure your blood
pressure at home. If your blood pressure is off limits, the monitor helps you to keep it under
constant watch. Remember only your physician can interpret your blood pressure values. Never
venture self-diagnosis or self-treatment. The blood pressure is the measure of the force which the
heart needs to pump the blood through the circulatory system and supply the vital organs of our
body. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart must work.
