Pulse wave technology - prevent cardiovascular disease, more accurate in local measurement


Pulse wave  technology - prevent cardiovascular disease, more accurate in local measurement

Many people believe that only elderly people need to pay attention to vascular health. The true fact is that aging and damage of blood vessels have accelerated since the age of 30.

With the influence of age, lifestyle and other factors, there are gradually hardening artheromatous plaques on the walls of arteries. They are like stones on highways, which can lead to poor blood circulation and even blockage of blood vessels, eventually causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and thus endangering life and health.

According to the "Cardiovascular Disease Report 2017", cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death among residents, with 45.01% in rural areas and 42.61% in cities.




What is the pulse wave velocity?


When the blood vessel blockage is less than 70%, the human body does not have any warning sign, and often miss the best prevention time, so the prevention of cardiovascular disease is very important, and it is necessary to carry out vascular health check regularly.

With advancement in technology, pulse wave velocity (PWV) is increasingly being applied to arterial vascular examinations. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) refers to the rate of pressure wave conduction along the wall of the aorta generated by the heart beat . It is easy to operate, fast, and repeatable. A PWV test usually takes only 1-2 minutes.


Clinical significance of pulse wave

PWV is one of the main means to assess the degree of atherosclerosis because it can reflect the elasticity and strain capacity of blood vessels. It can predict the potential pathological factors in the early stage of vascular injury and play a better role in preventing cardiovascular disease. The larger the PWV measurement, the worse the vascular elasticity and the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease.



Atherosclerosis causes vascular occlusion and affect blood circulation



Clinical Application of PWV


Rapid and objective analysis of vascular system function
• Quantify arterial stiffness and enhancement
• Helps in understanding cardiovascular health
• Promote supervision of medication, treatment, and lifestyle
• Assist in the control of disease development



Traditional PWV technology has large measurement error

The PWV obtained by the traditional pulse wave measurement technique required the average value of the whole blood vessel.It is impossible to accurately locate which blood vessel segment has lesions and plaques, thus the measurement error is large. In the early stage of atherosclerosis, plaques are often very small, and the PWV measurement for local blood vessels is more valuable.
 
PWV technology is positioned accurately.
Local measurement is more reliable.


The PWV technology is a new type of non-invasive and reproducible pulse wave velocity detection technology. It has a higher imaging frame rate than the traditional B-mode ultrasound and greatly improves the accuracy of local PWV measurement.


Through the analysis of 29 test subjects, the results show that the Vinno PWV technology overcomes the influence of the previous technology on the blood pressure fluctuation of the subject, it is able to trace the waveform of the carotid wall in multiple cycles, and observe the wall of the blood vessel in real time. Identify the situation and improve the credibility of the results.


Focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and precise intervention is a new direction for the development of health care. Vinno arterial local PWV measurement technology can effectively evaluate vascular stiffness, and provide objective detection indicators for the screening and evaluation of risk factors for arteriosclerosis. It is a great significance for the early detection, treatment and prognosis of arterial diseases
