Blood pressure monitors tested - Keeping an eye on your blood pressure

High blood pressure is not just a matter for men. The risk also increases for women after the menopause. According to data from the Scientific Institute of the AOK, every second woman between 65 and 70 was affected by high blood pressure in 2021. High blood pressure doesn't hurt, but can be life-threatening if left untreated. There is a risk of damage to the blood vessels, heart attacks and strokes. A measuring device for personal use helps to recognise high blood pressure in good time. Others use it because they are already being treated by a doctor for high blood pressure. Self-measurement then shows whether medication or other measures are having the desired effect.
