However, when the purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of a therapy (for instance, therapies for treating hypertension, heart disease, or diabetes), the testing should be done in the morning in order to eliminate the influence of circadian rhythms on test results.

  • Page 34: Hr - Heart Rate

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.1.4.1 HR - Heart Rate The pulse rate at the fingertip corresponds to the heart rate. The heart rate between 60 to 90 beats per minute is considered normal [Braunwald's Heart Disease, 9th ed, 2012]. When evaluating the results of the heart rate measurements it is important to consider the presence of the diseases that can lead to changes in the heart rate and the therapies that can cause a reduction in the heart rate (for instance, the beta-blockers).

    AngioScan Medical Tests wave. As a result, the Type A pulse wave is formed with a pointed apex, corresponding to high pressure augmentation. In this situation, augmentation index has positive value. The higher the stiffness of the arterial wall, the greater the value AIp. In assessing the augmentation index, it is essential not only to look at its absolute value but also the sign of the indicator.
  • Page 36 AngioScan Medical Tests significant disorders of the cardiovascular system. Type C pulse wave is characterized by the maximum of the reflected wave in the late systolic phase, and its projection to the curve (yellow) is on a downward shoulder close to the time of closure of the aortic valve.
  • Page 37 AngioScan Medical Tests Type B pulse wave is characterized by the maximum of the reflected wave in the middle of systole, and the point of projection on the curve is almost the same as the global maximum of the pulse wave. This type of pulse waves is often observed in patients older than 40 years.

  • Page 38: Va - Vascular Age

    AngioScan Medical Tests Type A pulse wave is characterized by the global maximum of the pulse wave coinciding with the maximum of the reflected wave. This type of pulse wave is observed in the elderly and in patients with hypertension and other diseases of the cardiovascular system. 4.1.4.5 VA - Vascular Age Vascular age (VA) is a calculated parameter based on age index.
  • Page 39 AngioScan Medical Tests In this example, stress index and heart rate variability histogram are typical for a healthy person. The heart rate variability is due to the effect of the breathing on the heart rhythm, which adjusts, beat-to-beat, to maintain arterial blood pressure.

    AngioScan Medical Tests In the absence of significant diseases of the cardiovascular system, a high index of stress can be observed during a physical or emotional exhaustion. In such cases, a test should be repeated after a sufficient rest period, for example, after a night's sleep. The index values of stress and functional status of compliance: less than Possible arrhythmias or artifacts caused by movement of the patient...
  • Page 41 AngioScan Medical Tests Stiffness index = L (m) / T (s), where L - length of the aorta (calculated automatically from the patient’s height); T - the time between the maximum amplitudes of the direct and reflected pulse waves. Stiffness index score is based on the determination of the time interval between the early (direct) and late (reflected) systolic waves.

    AngioScan Medical Tests 2002, 2003]. Currently, PWV is the "gold standard" of the assessment of vascular wall elasticity [Laurent et al. 2006]. It was shown large prospective studies that an increase in pulse wave velocity is significantly associated with an increased risk of total and cardiovascular mortality in the elderly [Meaume et al. 2001; Sutten, Tyrrell et al.

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.1.4.10 AGI - Aging Index Aging index (AGI) is an indicator of the relative amplitudes of the various components of the pulse wave. One of the research methods used in calculating AGI is a mathematical analysis of the features of the derivatives of the pulse wave.

  • Page 46: Dtpp

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.1.4.16 dTpp This time parameter is the time between the peaks of the direct (early systolic) and the reflected (late systolic) waves. The longer is this time interval, the more elastic is the aorta. The parameter has a diagnostic value only when its values are either zero or negative (pulse waves of types C and B).

  • Page 47: Spa - Systolic Pressure, Aortic

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.1.4.18 SPa - Systolic Pressure, Aortic This parameter corresponds to the level of blood pressure in the proximal aorta and brachiocephalic vessels. Typically, in young people, without cardio-vascular disease, the blood pressure in peripheral arteries (such as brachial artery) is slightly higher than that in the aorta and brachiocephalic arteries. This phenomenon is due to the amplification of the pressure amplitude of the peripheral pulse wave, and helps to maintain a constant blood flow rate to peripheral organs.

  • Page 48: Tdvmax - Time Of Maximum Blood Filling Rate

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.1.4.22 TdVMax - Time of maximum blood filling rate Occlusion Test An occlusion test is simple and non-invasive. During the test, there is a complete clamping of one of the peripheral arteries for a few minutes. In response to the occlusion, after the clamping has been released, there is a change in the of blood flow distal to the site of compression.
  • Page 49 AngioScan Medical Tests An example of an occlusion test data in a subject with an impaired endothelial function. Physiological effects of brachial artery occlusion can be described as follows. After releasing the cuff pressure, the blood flow in the brachial artery increases dramatically (by 300 - 800%). An increase in the rate of blood flow in the brachial artery raises the shear stress on the surface of the endothelial cells.

  • Page 50: Patient Preparation Requirements

    AngioScan Medical Tests increased shear stress leads to the activation of nitric oxide synthesis by endothelial cells. A local increase in the concentration of nitric oxide has an impact on the tone of smooth muscles of the arteries, leading to their dilation. When dilation of the brachial artery occurs, the pulse wave amplitude increases.

    AngioScan Medical Tests 3. After adding a new patient profile to the database, open the window "Measurements" and choose the "Occlusion Test" tab. 4. Place the optical sensors at the tips of the patient's index fingers ensuring that the connecting sensor cable is on the same side as the finger nail.

  • Page 52: Occlusion Index By Pulse Wave Amplitude

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.2.3.2 Occlusion index by pulse wave amplitude By monitoring the pulse wave amplitude before and after occlusion, the change in the blood volume in the fingertip can be estimated. In order to calculate the occlusion index by pulse wave amplitude, a correction to the change in the amplitude of the reference channel is made.

  • Page 53: Phase Shift

    AngioScan Medical Tests 4.2.3.3 Phase shift The phase shift parameter is computed at the end of an occlusion test and characterizes the vasomotor response in major arteries. It has been shown that the pulse waves velocity decreases after an occlusion in arteries distal to the site of occlusion.

  • Page 54: Pharmacological Test

    AngioScan Medical Tests Thus, the results of the test occlusion can judge the state of endothelial function in small resistance arteries (occlusion index) and large muscle (phase shift). Pharmacological Test Pharmacological test is designed to monitor and analyze the impact of pharmacological stimuli (this term is used broadly to indicate any stimuli, such as pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, emotional stimuli, etc.) on the cardiovascular system (CVS).
  • Page 55 AngioScan Medical Tests monitor the effects of the drug. The initial effect of the drug can be seen at 1.5 - 2 minutes, the maximum effect is observed at 5 minutes. Then, gradually, the effect of the drug diminishes. To study the details of the impact of the drug, a contour analysis is carried out. Contour analysis of the baseline pulse waves indicates that is 32.0%, and AIp75...
