The aponorm Professional Touch, like the smaller model aponorm Professional Control, is specialized in detecting dangerous atrial fibrillation, which can be the cause of a stroke in up to 30% of cases. Based on an automatic multiple measurement, recommended by doctors and professional associations for more accurate readings, the device checks characteristic parameters for this insidious and often irregular heart rhythm disorder during normal blood pressure measurement. This patented Afib technology (Afib = Atrial Fibrillation) is the only study-proven technique worldwide that allows for simple and close monitoring of atrial fibrillation through home cuff blood pressure measurement. The aponorm Professional Touch also offers many additional features such as a two-person memory, a guest mode, and a backlit touch screen, as well as software connectivity via USB for transferring and analyzing your blood pressure data on a PC. The aponorm Professional Touch is exclusively available where good advice on medical matters is at home: in your pharmacy.
