ANN ARBOR, MI, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A&D Medical announces its continued support of May Measurement Month (MMM), a global health campaign focused on raising awareness about high blood pressure and encouraging routine screening.

This initiative, launched in 2017, has helped over 5 million individuals worldwide monitor their blood pressure - many for the first time - shedding light on a health condition that often goes undetected.

“Nearly 10 million lives are lost every year due to high blood pressure-related conditions - yet so many of these outcomes are preventable,” said Brad Wiltz, Director of the A&D Medical Business. “May Measurement Month is about turning awareness into action. A single 60-second blood pressure check can uncover a silent risk and spark a life-saving intervention.”

A simple 60-second habit of checking blood pressure can be lifesaving. High blood pressure, often known as the “silent killer,” typically has no warning signs but can lead to serious health complications, including:
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Kidney disease
• Vision loss

WHY IT MATTERS
More than 1.3 billion people globally live with high blood pressure, and nearly half are unaware of their condition. Regular monitoring offers critical health insights and benefits:
• Early detection of hypertension
• Understanding how stress, diet, and sleep influence cardiovascular health
• Effective tracking of treatment plans
• Empowerment through proactive, data-driven wellness decisions

A&D MEDICAL LAUNCHES HEART HEALTH YOUTUBE CHANNEL
To coincide with May Measurement Month, A&D Medical is proud to launch its official YouTube channel, offering a powerful new platform for public education on blood pressure and cardiovascular wellness.
