Blood pressure all-rounder
SCHILLER introduces the first solution that combines the non-invasive, cuff-based precise auscultatoric and the reliable oscillometric measurement to generate a 24-hour profile of stiffness parameters like pulse wave velocity and central and peripheral blood pressure. Based on individual arterial behaviour, it is now possible to evaluate the risk of developing a cardiovascular disease.
How it works
The analysis is based on the combination of auscultatoric/ oscillometric blood pressure measurement and pulse contour analysis, and provides information about arterial behaviour as well as pulse wave velocity. The stiffer the arteries, the quicker the pulse wave, which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. The age of the small blood vessels is determined using the augmentation index, an indicator of alterations.
