HEART RHYTHM DISTURBANCES - ALERT FOR EMERGENCY CARE

Inadequate control of high blood pressure can lead to death, which is why each of us should take care to diagnose and treat high blood pressure early.

A 10 mmHg increase in arterial blood pressure increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 30%, with a 7-fold increase in cerebral circulatory disorders (such as stroke), a 4-fold increase in ischaemic heart disease, and a 2-fold increase in damage to leg blood vessels.

Although arterial hypertension is not curable, following all your doctor's instructions, controlling your blood pressure and adjusting your risk factors can help you avoid bigger problems - for example, reducing the chance of a stroke by as much as 40%. It is very important that people with hypertension understand the importance of treating arterial hypertension, follow their doctor's instructions and take an active part in their own treatment and health monitoring.

According to statistics, arrhythmias account for 10-15% of all heart diseases. Arrhythmias are caused by a disruption of the electrical impulses that drive the heartbeat. Heart rhythm disturbances can be caused by damage caused by heart disease as well as by other diseases or substances, including:

• Ruptured heart tissue due to a previous heart attack or an ongoing heart attack;
• changes in the structure of the heart, such as cardiomyopathy;
• high blood pressure;
• heart valve disease;
• blocked heart arteries (coronary artery disease);
• sleep apnoea (short and repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep);
• excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption;
• stress;
• smoking;
• endocrine disorders such as thyroid problems;
• certain medicines and supplements, including over-the-counter cold and allergy medicines and food supplements;
• electrolyte imbalances;
• diabetes;
• genetics.

A healthy person is unlikely to ever suffer a sustained arrhythmia unless it is caused by external factors, but in certain diseases, the electrical impulses may not be able to travel properly through the heart, increasing the chance of arrhythmia.

The most common tests used to diagnose arrhythmia are electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitoring (studying and analysing the heart's rhythm throughout the day), electrophysiological tests (tracking and stimulating the heart's electrical impulses) and stress/exercise testing (monitoring the heart's rhythm when it is forced to work harder than normal).

We are delighted that the Lithuanian market is now equipped with high quality meters with unique, patented PARR (pulse arrhythmia) technology. These are highly accurate devices for professional and everyday use, allowing you to obtain highly accurate arterial blood pressure measurements even at home, and to prevent many health-threatening cardiovascular diseases. Developed and manufactured in collaboration with the European and British Hypertension Societies, the devices feature the most advanced blood pressure monitoring technologies, allowing the user to determine the user's condition at the touch of a button.

Advantages of PARR technology in blood pressure measurement
Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology detects pulse arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF, AFib), premature atrial and/or ventricular contractions (PC). Pulse Arrhythmia can be associated with cardiac
disorders, so it is essential to seek medical advice for early diagnosis and to prevent more serious problems.
PARR technology detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure measurements, requiring no additional user skill, user effort or prolonged measurement process.

Note: PARR technology and AFib/PC sharing is clinically proven as a high-probability algorithm for detecting cardiac problems, but it is based on speculation. The sensitivity and certainty of the technology is limited and therefore
pulse arrhythmias will be detected and displayed for most, but not all, users. In some patients, under unusual clinical conditions, the PARR technology may fail to detect pulse arrhythmias. This situation may arise because in some cases the arrhythmia can only be detected by ECG but not by pulse diagnostics. Thus, PARR technology is not intended to replace medical diagnosis by a physician using an ECG machine. PARR only offers the possibility of early detection of the disease, the results of which should be communicated to your doctor and consulted for a more detailed examination.  

Blood pressure monitors with PARR technology allow early diagnosis and prevention of stroke, heart attack or other heart diseases at the touch of a button.

- Patented technology detects AFib, PC, TACH and BRAD

- No need for repeated measurements due to the accuracy of the device

- No special user skills or knowledge required

- Can be used both at home and professionally

AFib atrial fibrillation
The upper part of the heart, the atria do not contract, but vibrate, so that the blood is propelled irregularly and with less efficiency to the ventricles. This is followed by an irregular heartbeat, which leads to fast but very irregular heart contractions. This condition means an increased risk of blood clots in the heart, which in turn increases the risk of stroke. Atrial fibrillation can lead to other chronic or acute heart failure conditions or other heart complications. Depending on age groups, however, about 10% to 20% percent of patients who suffer an ischaemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation initially manifests itself as a transient arrhythmia but progresses to a permanent disorder over a long period of time. No matter which period you measure your blood pressure, this device will help you detect atrial fibrillation in the early stages of AFib. The ARR and AFib symbols are displayed on the screen immediately after if atrial fibrillation has been detected during the measurement.

Note: It is highly recommended that you contact your doctor if the AFib symbol appears several times during blood pressure measurements, disappears or reappears during repeated measurements. Your doctor will be able to provide you with all the necessary medical tests and possible therapeutic procedures.
Note: Pacemaker activity may interfere with the detection of AFib by PARR technology.

PC Premature contractions
Additional abnormal heart contractions can be detected in various parts of the heart in the atria, ventricles or other connecting parts of the heart. These extra contractions can disrupt the normal rhythm, they can occur early and cause significant pauses felt in your chest and otherwise known as percussion.
They can occur as isolated, single beats or a series of beats, or they can be spaced out parallel to your pulse. If they are not the result of psychological stress or fatigue or intense physical activity, they may be an indicator of heart problems. Some of these disorders may coincide with, or occur in combination with, other risk factors such as various forms of ischaemic heart disease, coronary artery disease or stroke. Some premature contractions may be a warning sign of valvular or myocardial abnormalities and may be very important in cases of myocarditis. This device can detect premature contractions (PC). The ARR and PC icons are displayed immediately after the measurement if premature contractions have been detected.

Note: It is highly recommended that you contact your doctor if the PC symbol appears several times during blood pressure measurements, disappears or reappears during repeated measurements. Your doctor will be able to provide you with all the necessary medical tests and possible therapeutic procedures. 

Tachycardia detection (TACH)
Fast heart rate - more than 100 beats per minute (BPM) in adults. If not induced by physical or mental stress, it is an indicator of heart disease (coronary heart disease, hyperthyroidism, fever).

Bradycardia detection (BRAD)
Bradycardia is a slow heart rhythm with a heart rate of less than 55 beats per minute in adults. If it is not a cardiac adaptation after endurance training, this condition may be associated with a number of cardiac disorders (electrolyte imbalance, medication, coronary and/or heart valve disease).

The innovative and patented PARR (pulse arrhythmia) technology is an unparalleled technology that detects circulatory disorders at a very early stage. These devices are designed for both professional and everyday use. The devices are designed and manufactured in collaboration with cardiologists, approved by the European and British Hypertension Societies, and incorporate the most advanced blood pressure monitoring technologies: atrial fibrillation detection (AFib), premature ventricular contraction detection (PC), tachycardia detection (TACH), bradycardia detection (BRAD) and others. With this device with Rossmax PARR technology, you will detect and prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke in time. This makes it quick and easy to assess your health.
