Description
Measuring
arterial stiffness
The device for
measuring arteriosclerosis and accelerated arterial aging based on the central
Pulse Wave Velocity, which is a surrogate of the arterial stiffness.
Measuring
the time difference between pulse waves taken from a patient’s finger and toe.
Results return in 2 minutes.
The device is
connected to the patient through photodiode sensors (photoplethysmographic) in
order measure the difference in transit times between the toe and the finger.
The sensors
deliver the proper signals to the system. It transmits the image of these
formatted signals, along with any other useful data, through a USB port in a
PC, enabling the information to be displayed and processed. The operation is
simple while making it possible to obtain a reproducible measurement in less
than 2 minutes. An analysis report is provided once obtaining the signal.
