The catastrophe strikes without any prior warning. The Arteriograph is an evidence based, fast, easy, noninvasive and user independent way of assessing cardiovascular risk. For the first time one have a good chance of finding high risk patient before it is too late. ⦁ Screening of early atherosclerosis among ”healthy” individuals. Only the Arteriograph is useful for this. The Arteriograph gives an overall picture of the risk of assessing cardiovascular disease. ⦁ Evaluating the effects of treatments (drugs, nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes etc) on the vascular functions among patients with established atherosclerosis (CAD, POST MI, STROKE, PAD) ⦁ Is it not enough to check the blood lipids and blood pressure to prevent atherosclerosis and thereby strokes? No, 40-60% of patients with stroke or heart attacks do not have any know abnormal values such as high amount of blood lipids or high blood pressure (Johns Hopkins White Papers, Coronary Heart Disease - 1998, etc). They also have normal blood glucose values, resting-EKG, are non-smokers and have a healthy diet. Up until now it has been impossible to find there individuals. ⦁ Todays metods of assessing cardiovascular risk (SCORE, Framingham) all have limits. They do not take into account important factors such as lack of physical activity, overweight, psychological factors or previous cardiovascular circumstances. (Simon, A. and Levenson, J.: May subclinical arterial disease helps to better detect and treat high-risk asymptomatic individuals? J Hypertension 2005, 23: 1939-1945) ⦁ In most cases, lowering the blood pressure is not enough to avoid early death. Individuals who can lower both their arterial stiffness and blood pressure have a much greater chance of a longer life.Circulation 2001;103:987 ⦁ The Arteriograph is mobile and easy to use. The screening is fast, comfortable, harmless and user independent. It takes only a few minutes and can be described as a computerized blood pressure measurement.
