How does CardioVascular Profiling Work?

The CVProfilor® uses HDI’s patented blood pressure waveform technology. The System is non-invasive, user-friendly, designed for use in U.S. physician offices and clinics, and causes no medical risk to the patient. The System’s display screen and printer-generated CVProfileTM Report provide an independent assessment of the arterial elasticity in both large and small arteries.

   

 

   

    

 

 


The test is simple and even comfortable. While you recline for a few moments a physician or his/her assistant enters the necessary background information into the CVProfilor® System. At that time, a small wrist sensor (shown above) is applied and fastened, and a measurement taken. This takes a few minutes, and then results are printed or displayed for the physician to review.

   

More About the CVProfilor® and 
Cardiovascular Disease

The CVProfilor® provides a patient’s arterial elasticity indices, which can be used in the assessment of underlying vascular disease. 

Studies have shown that patients with hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease and diabetes exhibit a loss of arterial elasticity. Even a slight reduction in arterial elasticity can be measured by the CVProfilor® System, and the early detection of such reductions appear to precede the overt signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

It is generally recognized by medical experts that healthy arteries are elastic and flexible, and that hardening or stiffening of arteries is associated with old age, poor health and cardiovascular disease. Almost 72 million Americans have high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and a primary cause of more than one million heart attacks and strokes annually. Every 24 hours, nearly 2,400 Americans die of disease involving the cardiovascular system – an average of one death every 36 seconds!
