The DPA provides information on arterial wall stiffness and determines the biological age of arteries in less than 3 minutes. This FDA 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.
Over 1,000,000 people die each year due to heart disease and related illnesses.
500,000 women die every year from heart disease.
60% of youth are at risk for heart disease.
Heart attacks kill more people than the next 9 causes of death combined!
Signs of Arterial Blockage in the Heart
When suffering from this kind of serious heart condition, patients are expected to show certain types of major and minor signs. Early symptoms of the disease include sharp chest pain, dull feeling and tingling sensation. Also referred to as angina, the pain is also described as persistent, acute and tight. Aside from chest pain, they can also feel shooting pain in various parts of their bodies including the jaw, arm, shoulder and abdomen.
Respiratory disturbance is another major symptom of this heart disease. Lightheadedness, exhaustion, fatigue and shortness of breath are amongst the associated signs of arterial blockage. Furthermore, patients can also feel verbal disruptions, weakness and nausea. When running and walking, those who are suffering from this serious medical condition can feel shooting pain in the legs.
The DPA is FDA approved medical equipment used for measurement and analysis of the pulse waveform created by the heart beat.
The pulse wave is the arterial pressure change that originates from the heartbeat and transmits through an artery. The pulse wave is changed with the systolic power of heart and the vascular condition (the arterial elasticity, resistance, etc.), followed by the pulse wave.
The information reflects the functional status of cardiovascular circulation. The DPA irradiates IR (infrared) to the fingertip and obtains pulse wave information with the light absorbing characteristics of HbO2 of arterial blood. The medical terminology for this measurement method is Plethysmogram (PTG).
