Arteriograph 24: ABPM Plus
Arteriograph 24 is an advanced device designed for comprehensive 24-hour monitoring, including Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, also known as ABPM Plus. This means it can track your blood pressure continuously throughout the day and night, providing a complete picture of your cardiovascular health. In addition to traditional blood pressure readings, it offers insights into important metrics like aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (PWVao), Augmentation Index (Aix), and central systolic blood pressure (SBPao). This combination of data helps you and your healthcare provider understand your arterial function more effectively.
This unique combination of 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) and advanced Pulse Wave Analysis through the Arteriograph offers valuable insights into daytime and nighttime hemodynamic parameters, helping assess vascular age. The data can be easily transferred and analyzed on a PC for a thorough evaluation of arterial function and stiffness.
Arteriograph 24 is indicated in the next clinical conditions:
- “White coat” effect of the patient (more stress from the patient towards the examination)
- Considerable discrepancy between the observed arterial function results with Arteriograph and the patient’s apparent or known clinical status. E.g. the patient is very young, but shows considerably abnormal stiffness values, or the patient is a known atherosclerotic subject with a lot of diseases, and a normal arterial function.
- Studying the diurnal rhythm of the arterial function parameters
- Studying the behaviour of the arterial stiffness in real life conditions.
Arteriograph 24 is a crucial tool for understanding and evaluating arterial function in different medical situations. Its standout feature is the ability to continuously measure Pulse Wave Analysis for a full 24 hours. This extended monitoring lets healthcare professionals observe subtle changes in artery conditions throughout the day, giving a more comprehensive picture of vascular health in real-world situations. Whether studying daily patterns, checking responses to activities, or tracking long-term trends in artery stiffness, the device's continuous Pulse Wave Analysis provides valuable insights for personalized patient care and improved clinical decision-making. Simply put, Arteriograph 24 is at the forefront of assessing arterial function, offering a deeper understanding of cardiovascular system through its extended and uninterrupted monitoring capability.
