Omron Health Care (Thailand) launches OMRON Complete blood pressure and ECG monitor. Helping Thai people measure their heart rate at home. After finding statistics that there were as many as 349,126 stroke patients in Thailand in 2023, information from the WHO said that if all countries around the world could improve access to effective treatment, It will help prevent a caused the deaths of up to 76 million people worldwide.
Yusuke Kato, Managing Director of Omron Healthcare (Thailand) Co., Ltd. That said from data from the World Health Organization (WHO), worldwide numbers Hypertension accounts for 4 out of 5 people worldwide. This disease causes serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, and leads to death such as stroke and heart attack. If it is not treated in time and if the access and effectiveness of treatment can be improved It will be possible to prevent the death of up to 76 million people worldwide.
For OMRON Complete, it is a device that can measure both blood pressure and ECG. in one device This combination of technology allows users to closely monitor their heart health. This makes it possible to detect arrhythmias. Finding atrial fibrillation or AFib (atrial fibrillation), which is a risk factor that leads to stroke. This condition is very difficult to detect and does not cause symptoms because it does not happen all the time.
Symptomatic patients can have their blood pressure measured and their electrocardiogram recorded. Regular measurement of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is very important. Because it will help to reduce the risk of developing blood vessel disease (stroke) and receive timely treatment.
5 risk factors for high blood pressure
Dr. Suraphan Sitthisuk, Secretary-General of the Hypertension Society of Thailand and a cardiovascular specialist. That said according to the report of the Ministry of Public Health on stroke in Thailand, in 2023 there were about 349,126 cases and 36,214 deaths, with the majority of deaths under 70 years of age, which is considered as disturbing situation. Especially at a time when Thailand has completely entered an aging society. Older people are a risk group who have a higher chance of suffering from high blood pressure.
Moreover, today’s social conditions are changing rapidly. Both the excitement and the competition are high. It also leads to behavior that increases the risk of developing this disease. Currently, it has been found that people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) have a stroke risk that is up to 5 times higher than normal. And because the risk of heart failure is as high as 2-3 times as well, therefore, it is important to create awareness and campaign to measure blood pressure regularly.
The 5 dangerous behaviors that are the main cause of developing high blood pressure are:
- Being overweight and obese
- Eating too salty food
- Not exercising and not moving the body during the day
- Work stress and economic factors
- Drinking alcohol and smoking
along with traveling to the hospital In particular, government hospitals have long waiting times and are overcrowded. Meanwhile, private hospitals have high costs. Therefore, quality and standard medical equipment is another option that helps Thai people to take care of their blood pressure and heart regularly. It will help reduce and prevent coronary heart disease and related serious diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease.
Launch of a short film to raise awareness of stroke disease
Pathama Bunrat, Marketing Manager, Omron Healthcare (Thailand) Co., Ltd. the company said the company has created a short documentary film “The Sound of AFib”: the sound of music that makes people aware of atrial fibrillation (AFib) as something that is often misdiagnosed and his misunderstanding. All this is presented in the short film “The Sound of AFib”, which shows how sound can reveal the symptoms of atrial fibrillation (AFib) It aims to shed light on the issue of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and includes recordings from ECGs of patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and cardiologists. Let’s come together to broadcast through songwriters. Using musical scores to create and express how atrial fibrillation (AFib) interacts with the patient’s heart rhythm. The result We have gained valuable information in understanding what atrial fibrillation (AFib) can do to your heart rhythm. This is a way of checking and listening to your heart that can help tell you that there is a high risk of stroke.
From the factor of the increasing rate of elderly people worldwide Atrial fibrillation (AFib) has led to a rapid increase in the incidence of the disease worldwide. Increases the risk of stroke increase accordingly In addition, research shows that 40% of patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) are asymptomatic. And these patients do not experience associated atrial fibrillation (AFib) in their daily lives. and they may not be aware of the risks to heart health that they face every day
