Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is an epidemic affecting
millions of men and women. The dangers associated with this
condition are often made even more severe by the inherent
difficulties associated with proper diagnosis and treatment.
Recent studies have shown that nearly 80% of all hypertension
patients were either misdiagnosed, mistreated or were unaware
of their condition.
BpTRU Medical Devices offers the solution. Our complete line
of automated, noninvasive blood pressure monitoring systems
consistently deliver accurate results that can be used with
confidence to identify and effectively manage hypertension.
Designed to eliminate the drawbacks associated with auscultation,
including inter-reader variability and situational 'white
coat' hypertension, BpTRU offers a superior level of accuracy,
convenience and value.
