Cardiac Risk Assessment
A non-invasive test that predicts future risk of heart disease by performing a comprehensive analysis of the state and function of the major blood vessels.
As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.
Features at a glance
The tests include
Vascular Age:
Test to assess if the vascular age matches that of the chronological age or if the vascular age is much higher (eg: Vascular age of 80yrs for a 50yr old patient). Predicts future risk of heart disease and hypertension.
Arterial Stiffness:
Test to assess how compliant the arteries are to compression and relaxation. Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of heart disease and hypertension.
Endothelial Function:
The endothelium secretes Nitric Oxide which dilate the blood vessels and increases blood flow. In endothelial dysfunction, this function is impaired resulting in the arteries not dilating and becoming stiffer.
Central Arterial Blood Pressure (CABP):
Central Blood Pressure refers to the pressure in the Aorta – the largest artery into which the heart pumps. Emerging studies are stating that Aortic Blood Pressure is a better predictor for future cardiac events when compared to the traditional brachial blood pressure. It is the Aortic Blood Pressure which determines the cardiac workload.
Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV):
Carotid to Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity is used clinically as a measure of arterial stiffness and is a predictor of future cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke). It has been recognized by the European Society of Hypertension as an indicator of end organ damage.
How is the test performed?
The patient is connected with 4 ECG electrodes ( 2 lead ) and four BP cuffs, other accessories are external viz. lung function & Feet sensor. The whole test takes about 20 mins, which includes 5 mins of patient conditioning in supine position.
LIVE BLOOD ANALYSIS
A single drop of blood can tell a lot about how good your peripheral tissue oxygenation is, your diet and lifestyle, status of your immune system, oxidation of your red cells, hydration status and more. All of this can be seen on a screen connected to a high power microscope.
The Red Blood Cells (RBCs) have a unique biconcave shape which Confers maximum surface area to hold oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide. When your body is loaded with toxins, the RBCs become sticky (Rouleaux formation) leading to reduced oxygen carrying capacity and reduced oxygenation of tissues. This can lead to the development of chronic diseases in the future. Only when the RBCs are free, they can do their job of delivering oxygen easily.
This test is recommended pre and post treatment to see the improvements at the cellular level.
THERMOGRAPHY
Breast thermography, also known as thermographic imaging or digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI), is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that measures the temperature of the skin on the surface of the breasts. It involves using an infrared camera to detect heat patterns and blood flow in breast tissue, which are then displayed as a thermogram.
How Breast Thermography Works:
Thermal Imaging can be the first alert that cancer may be developing. Caught in this early stage, a woman may be able to lower her risk by making diet and lifestyle changes along with taking non-toxic IV Therapies like Vitamin C and Ozone.
