Pressure Test High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension is a serious condition that affects about one in three people. It generally has no symptoms. Left uncontrolled, it can lead to stroke, heart failure or kidney failure, but can remain undetected for years. It is important to know if you are at risk because once detected, HBP can generally be treated effectively with the help of your doctor. Home monitoring of your blood pressure helps reduce the chance of severe diseases. The Braun ExactFit Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor offers an accurate and simple way to measure your blood pressure at home.
