Arterial Stiffness Measurement (Vascular Screening)
Arterial Stiffness Measurement (Non-Invasive Vascular Screening)
Arterial Stiffness is assessed through two measurements, Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and Ankle Brachial Index (ABI). Pule Wave Velocity looks at the rate at which pressure waves move down a vessel. PWV is a parameter of arterial stiffening and a good independent predictor for the presence of cardiovascular disease. While Ankle Brachial Index looks at the blood pressure difference in the arms and legs. ABI is a standard index used for detecting PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) and a predictive marker for cardiovascular disease.
Together, they can provide a better picture of how stiff your arteries are and how well blood is flowing through them showing us the risk of heart disease and stroke.
การวัดความยืดหยุ่นของหลอดเลือดเหมาะสำหรับ
- Over 40 years old
- Family history or risk of heart attack, high cholesterol
- Risk of heart disease such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes
- High risk activities such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, sedentary lifestyle, inadequate sleep
- Easily fatigued
ADDLIFE uses OMRON model HBP-8000. The HBP-8000 (Omron Healthcare, Japan) is a non-invasive device that simultaneously measures the ankle-brachial index (ABI) and pulse wave velocity, and uses waveform analysis and vascular evaluation technology to generate diagnostic information. The device’s capacity to evaluate patients highly correlates with classic Doppler measurement in a short time. It uses a four cuff system making measurements fast and reliable.
