Value of Atrteriograph

Arteriograph is the greatest contributer to Patients who will have diffuclty to recover.

Arteriograph has been invented by Hungarian has been evaluated only by Simple,Wireless,Internet,Portable,low cost.

A cardiovascular screening using an arteriograph reveals much more than a typical blood pressure or cholesterol test will

Statistics indicate that around 60% of the time in heart attack cases, a standard cholesterol or blood pressure test won’t have revealed anything out of the ordinary. Guidelines (published in 2007) from the European Society of Hypertension recommend measuring arterial stiffness in patients with arterial hypertension (high blood pressure). Gordons Chemists are pleased to offer across Northern Ireland a cardiovascular screening clinic, using a state-of-the-art arteriograph. CardioHealth NI is the first and only company in Northern Ireland that uses an arteriograph; a session with CardioHealth NI at one of our cardiovascular screening clinics is priced at only £50. A cardiovascular screening using an arteriograph reveals much more than a typical blood pressure or cholesterol test will. By offering this cardiovascular screening clinic, we allow the patient to have a better understanding of the health of their arteries. As such they can make the decision to take control of their cardiovascular health – hopefully reducing the incidence or severity of heart attack, stroke or high blood pressure. In addition to identifying underlying health problems, the screening includes recommendations on diet and natural health solutions. A detailed report allows the patient to consult with their GP or medical professional in order to seek further advice and treatment, based on the findings of the screening. The cardiovascular screening clinic is suitable for anyone aged 16 years and over, or anyone with a family history of heart disease, kidney disease or diabetes. It’s also suitable for anyone who drinks alcohol or smokes, is overweight, or participates in (or is returning to) a sport

Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Predicts Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography

HypertensionVolume 77, Issue 2, February 2021; Pages 571-581 https://doi.org/10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.120.15336 ATERIAL STIFFNESS Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Predicts Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography A Comparison of Invasive Measurements and Noninvasive Estimates Bernhard Hametner, Siegfried Wassertheurer, Christopher Clemens Mayer, Kathrin Danninger, Ronald K. Binder, and Thomas Weber ABSTRACTAortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is directly related to arterial stiffness. Different methods for the determination of PWV coexist. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the prognostic value of PWV in high-risk patients with suspected coronary artery disease undergoing invasive angiography and to compare 3 different methods for assessing PWV. In 1040 patients, invasive PWV (iPWV) was measured during catheter pullback. Additionally, PWV was estimated with a model incorporating age, central systolic blood pressure, and pulse waveform characteristics obtained from noninvasive measurements (estimated PWV). As a third method, PWV was calculated with a formula solely based on age and blood pressure (formula-based PWV). Survival analysis was based on continuous PWV as well as using cutoff values. After a median follow-up duration of 1565 days, 24% of the patients reached the combined end point (cardiovascular events or mortality). Cox proportional hazard ratios per 1 SD were 1.35 for iPWV, 1.37 for estimated PWV, and 1.28 for formula-based PWV (P<0.0001 for all 3 methods) in univariate analysis, remaining statistically significant after comprehensive multivariable adjustments. In a model including a modified risk score for coronary artery disease, iPWV and estimated PWV remained borderline significant. The net reclassification improvement was significant for iPWV (0.173), formula-based PWV (0.181), and estimated PWV (0.230). All 3 methods for the determination of PWV predicted cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. This indicates that iPWV as well as both noninvasive estimation methods are suitable for the assessment of arterial stiffness, bearing in mind their individual characteristics.

Arteriograph- Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment in only 3 minutes! - A medical breakthrough in early diagnostics of atherosclerosis!

Arteriograph- Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment in only 3 minutes! - A medical breakthrough in early diagnostics of atherosclerosis! A big problem today is that many individuals with high risk of cardiovascular diseases otherwise have normal values; normal blood pressure, blood lipids and resting-EKG. The catastrophe strikes without any prior warning. The Arteriograph is an evidence based, fast, easy, noninvasive and user independent way of assessing cardiovascular risk. For the first time one have a good chance of finding high risk patient before it is too late. 1. Screening of early atherosclerosis among ”healthy” individuals. Only the Arteriograph is useful for this. The Arteriograph gives an overall picture of the risk of assessing cardiovascular disease. 2. Evaluating the effects of treatments (drugs, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes etc) on the vascular functions among patients with established atherosclerosis (CAD, POST MI, STROKE, PAD) 3. Is it not enough to check the blood lipids and blood pressure to prevent atherosclerosis and thereby strokes? No, 40-60% of patients with stroke or heart attacks do not have any know abnormal values such as high amount of blood lipids or high blood pressure (Johns Hopkins White Papers, Coronary Heart Disease - 1998, etc). They also have normal blood glucose values, resting-EKG, are non-smokers and have a healthy diet. Up until now it has been impossible to find there individuals. 4. Todays metods of assessing cardiovascular risk (SCORE, Framingham) all have limits. They do not take into account important factors such as lack of physical activity, overweight, psychological factors or previous cardiovascular circumstances. (Simon, A. and Levenson, J.: May subclinical arterial disease helps to better detect and treat high-risk asymptomatic individuals? J Hypertension 2005, 23: 1939-1945) 5. In most cases, lowering the blood pressure is not enough to avoid early death. Individuals who can lower both their arterial stiffness and blood pressure have a much greater chance of a longer life.Circulation 2001;103:987 6. The Arteriograph is mobile and easy to use. The screening is fast, comfortable, harmless and user independent. It takes only a few minutes and can be described as a computerized blood pressure measurement. 7. Today´s other available methods are hard to use, expensive, and requires an adequate educated staff. In the future, the Arteriograph may replace the regular blood pressure measurement as it is just as easy but gives much more information

PWV, heart rate, and ejection fraction were independent indicators at development of MACE

Abstract Background. Arterial stiffness parameters in patients who experienced MACE after acute MI have not been studied sufficiently. We investigated arterial stiffness parameters in patients with ST segment elevation (STEMI) and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods. Ninety-four patients with acute MI (45 STEMI and 49 NSTEMI) were included in the study. Arterial stiffness was assessed noninvasively by using TensioMed Arteriograph. Results. Arterial stiffness parameters were found to be higher in NSTEMI group but did not achieve statistical significance apart from pulse pressure . There was no significant difference at MACE rates between two groups. Pulse pressure and heart rate were also significantly higher in MACE observed group. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), aortic augmentation index (AI), systolic area index (SAI), heart rate, and pulse pressure were higher; ejection fraction, the return time (RT), diastolic reflex area (DRA), and diastolic area index (DAI) were significantly lower in patients with major cardiovascular events. However, PWV, heart rate, and ejection fraction were independent indicators at development of MACE. Conclusions. Parameters of arterial stiffness and MACE rates were similar in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI in one year followup. The independent prognostic indicator aortic PWV may be an easy and reliable method for determining the risk of future events in patients hospitalized with acute MI.
