ARTERIAL SCREENING

Cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attack stroke and sudden death is the commonest killer in modern society. The best approach to managing this disease is early detection with subsequent preventative strategies.

Arterial screening is a painless, non invasive method of detecting stiffness in arteries. If the arteries exhibit significant stiffness the risk for future heart disease may be increased.

Arterial screening is portable and reproducible with numerous scientific studies demonstrating its ability to predict future vascular events. The technique involves a small, flat pencil probe placed over the artery in the wrist with the information transferred into a laptop. The software program automatically estimates the stiffness throughout the entire arterial tree and the results can be interpreted instantly.
