Better Prediction

Central blood pressure measurements are 69% more predictive of heart events than traditional blood pressure readings—even when arm-cuff readings appear normal*.

Central blood pressures have been shown to correlate more strongly with vascular disease than do routine peripheral blood pressure measurements.​

cbpCentral
Blood Pressure

What it Is
Pressure exerted by the heart - a valuable health insight not provided by traditional BP cuffs.

Why it Matters
Central blood pressure reflects key vascular issues such as arterial stiffness, which makes it a more accurate predictor of subclinical cardiovascular disease than traditional brachial blood pressure alone.

 
bbpBrachial
Blood Pressure

What it Is
Brachial blood pressure is the pressure or force of blood on the brachial artery in the upper arm.

Why it Matters
High blood pressure can cause major cardiovascular disease if untreated or treated but poorly controlled.

 
sevrSubendocardial
Viability Ratio

What it Is
The supply & demand of oxygenated blood to the myocardium.

Why it Matters
SEVR offers insight into how well a person’s heart can handle the stress of exercise.

 
medical grade heart rateMedical Grade Heart Measurement

What it Is
The number of heart beats (or contractions) per minute measured on a beat-to-beat basis.

Why it Matters
Beat-to beat heart rate is a more accurate measurement of heart rate similar to measurements obtained by an electrocardiogram.

 
cppCentral Pulse
Pressure

What it Is
Pressure experienced by the major organs such as the brain, kidney, and liver.

Why it Matters
Central pulse pressure helps identify the risk of end organ damage to key organs like the brain, kidney and heart.

 
augmentation pressureAugmentation
Pressure

What it Is
The increase in central aortic pressure caused by pressure wave reflection.

Why it Matters
A marker of arterial stiffness, elevated augmentation pressure is associated with cardiovascular risk factors as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

 
augmentation indexAugmentation
Index

What it Is
A % measurement of your heart’s workload due to arterial stiffness.

Why it Matters
Chronic stress on the heart and the cardiovascular system can lead to heart failure and hypertrophy (enlarged heart).

“Gold Standard” Arterial Biomarkers

Globally recognized “gold standard” technology and reference devices for measuring central blood pressure and arterial stiffness**

More Predictive Data = More Proactive Health

Research-Backed Health Insights

Traditional blood pressure readings only tell part of the story. The Pulse arterial health monitor uses Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) to measure key vascular biomarkers that predict cardiovascular (CV) risk before symptoms appear.

*Cardiovascular events are defined as a myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke, heart failure, or cardiovascular mortality.

A 4-mmHg reduction in central pressure can lower cardiovascular risk by 20%. Reductions in arterial stiffness have been shown with ACE-inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors.

By tracking these biomarkers, the Pulse helps detect hidden risks, optimize heart health, and empower better cardiovascular decisions.
