Blood Pressure
You can prevent and control high blood pressure by taking action.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack. The arteries bring oxygen-carrying blood
to the heart muscle. If the heart cannot get enough oxygen, chest pain, also known as "angina," can occur.
If the flow of blood is blocked, a heart attack results.
High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a serious
condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs.
As people get older, arteries throughout the body "harden," especially those in the heart, brain, and
kidneys. High blood pressure is associated with these "stiffer" arteries. This, in turn, causes the
heart and kidneys to work harder.
It is important to know your blood pressure levels and keep a close eye on any changes. QAS offers
Auto-Inflation Blood Pressure Monitors, Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors, and Resperate, a new and
innovative way to help control your blood pressure with out medication.
