Health & Fitness Technology Blog — High Blood Pressure

Each year, 18.6 million people die from heart related diseases. The World Heart Federation created World Heart Day in 1999 with the goal to inform everyone about the reach of heart disease, and urge people to take care of their own heart health. By simply controlling risk factors, at least 80% of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke deaths can be avoided! So, how’s your ticker “tocking''? Are there any lifestyle changes you can make to ensure your heart is at its best? What is cardiovascular disease (aka CVD)? If you are wondering about your heart’s health, read the blog to find out!

Millions of people each day are affected by conditions that impact their heart and blood vessels in some way - often leading to stroke, high blood pressure, kidney disease, impaired blood supply to the legs and other related disorders. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of cardiovascular disease affecting Australians today, and the most common type of heart rhythm disorder. Studies show that around half a million Aussies are currently living with AFib! It is also estimated that one in three people are at risk of developing AFib in their lifetime. So what is Atrial fibrillation? What are its symptoms and triggers? And can people monitor AFib from home?
