The DPA provides information on arterial wall stiffness and determines the biological age of arteries in less than 3 minutes. This FDP approved, user-friendly, non-invasive device uses a finger probe to observe the changes in pressure, blood flow, velocity and profile throughout the whole pulse wave.

Aging and disease states associated with an increase in cardiovascular events alter the physical characteristics of blood vessel walls and impair the pulsatile function of arteries. Impaired pulsatile function of arteries provides important prognostic and therapeutic information beyond that provided by traditional blood pressure measurements.

We believe that the use of the DPA can help caregivers reduce cardiovascular disease in their patient/client populations through early detection and prevention, and ultimately assist to decrease the associated financial costs placed on the health care industry. Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer for both men & women in the United States with an estimated economic cost of approximately $298 billion.

In summary the DPA provides:

• Early detection of arterial wall stiffness, Biological age of arteries
• Information regarding efficacy of treatment choices
• A tool to monitor the arterial wall response to lifestyle changes / reduction of cardiovascular risk factors
• Digital Pulse Analyzer (DPA) - Heart Rate Variability
