Greg H. Guettler, President of Hypertension Diagnostics said, “Due to the
growing medical interest in arterial elasticity, the CVProfilor®
DO-2020 and methods with which to improve arterial elasticity, Novartis
Pharmaceuticals retained HDI to provide CVProfile™ Reports to visitors in
their booth at the American College of Cardiology meeting in Atlanta,
Georgia. The result was that more than 500 individuals received a
personalized CVProfile™ Report giving them new information on the health
status of their blood vessels.” Current scientific studies indicate that
some cardiovascular drugs improve arterial elasticity.
Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets
proprietary cardiovascular profiling systems for medical applications and
clinical research. These systems are marketed to physicians, other health
care professionals and researchers by a direct sales force and via
distributors throughout the world. In addition to providing blood pressure
values, the systems non-invasively detect subtle changes in the compliance
or elasticity of both large and small arteries which is a unique feature
of HDI’s technology.
