How Healthy Is Your Heart? Did You Know? 
- Heart Disease is the #1 Cause of Death in the United States for both men and women.
- This year more than 920,000 Americans will have a heart attack; nearly half of them will occur without prior symptoms or warning signs. - Half of the victims of sudden cardiac death are under the age of 65 The Max Pulse is the state of the art cardiovascular screening device. It is an FDA approved class II medical device. The Max Pulse utilizes pulsewave analysis technology. The blood's pulsewave is followed from the time it leaves the heart and travels through the blood vessels down to the finger. The pulsewave is a snapshot into the cardiovascular system and evaluates arterial elasticity (arterial stiffness), which is related to atherosclerosis. Arterial stiffness is a major cardiovascular risk factor. The Test Analyzes: - Overall cardiovascular health - Heart Rate Variability and Mean Heart Rate - Overall elasticity of large, small and peripheral arteries (arterial stiffness) - Arteriosclerosis progress - Blood circulation and remaining blood in the vessels after the systolic contraction of the heart - Left ventricular ejection, contraction power - Mental stress, physical stress and resistance to stress What the Max Pulse Screening Will Tell You Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Measures the degree of fluctuation in the length of intervals between heart beats. For healthy people, HRV shows a fluctuation in heart rates, while unhealthy people have a simple and consistent heart rate. HRV measures the adaptability of the cardiovascular system and autonomic nervous system. A healthy person has a balanced autonomic nervous system. Arteriosclerosis Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body (arteries) become thick and stiff - sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissues. Healthy arteries are flexible and elastic, but over time, the walls of your arteries can harden. |
