Under the theme of "There’s always room for inspiration," the Company is showcasing a collection of innovative blood pressure monitors, including Complete (TM), an upper-arm blood pressure monitor with built-in ECG technology, NightView (TM), a wrist nocturnal blood pressure monitor for measuring night-time blood pressure, and EVOLV (TM), a convenient blood pressure with an integrated cuff. Speaking at the satellite symposium will be Prof. Dr. Gianfranco Parati, Prof. Dr. Martino F. Pengo, and Prof. Dr. George S. Stergiou. They will all discuss the importance of measuring blood pressure at home while sleeping for early detection and intervention of nocturnal hypertension. In addition, the symposium will underline atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia that is known to be the cause of cardiogenic embolism and will introduce the correlation between atrial fibrillation and hypertension, and the benefits of ECG recording at home for preventing cardiovascular disease before it worsens.
Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, and its readings at night are normally 10-20% lower than daytime readings. Among general hypertension conditions, nocturnal hypertension presents high blood pressure during night-time sleep. A study shows that the group with night-time blood pressure remaining the same as in the daytime would have a 2.56 times greater stroke mortality rate, while the stroke mortality rate of the group with blood pressure increasing at night is 3.69 times higher (*1). Another study discovered that the detection rate of atrial fibrillation is about three times higher in hypertensive patients than in non-hypertensive patients (*2). Therefore, it is essential to check the pulse and record ECG on a daily basis for preventing cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.
Aiming for zero cerebro-cardiovascular events, the Company has been working on advancing the ways of hypertension treatment in collaboration with healthcare professionals and researchers. The Company will continue to promote academic activities globally, develop devices and services, and contribute to empowering people worldwide to live life to the fullest.
