Pulse Wave Velocity Analysis (PWV) - uhspro.com

1 Pulse Wave Velocity Analysis (PWV) Non-Invasive Detection of Cardiovascular Disease OBAMACARE IS IMPACTING PRIVATE PRACTICE BY REDUCING REIBURSEMENTS BY UP TO 50% 1 OUT OF 4 PRIMARY-CARE PHYSICIANS ARE REPORTING POOR FINANCIAL HEALTH HEART DISEASE IS THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN 1M AMERICANS WILL HAVE A HEART ATTACK THIS YEAR; HALF WITHOUT PRIOR SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS PWV Analysis follows the blood s Pulse wave from the time it leaves the heart, through the blood vessels, down to the finger. The Pulse wave is a snapshot into the cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems and evaluates arterial elasticity (arterial stiffness), which is related to atherosclerosis.

2 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 The Framingham Heart Study Ongoing study conducted by The National Institutes of Health beginning in 2010 Over 2,200 participants Study measures the effectiveness of Pulse Wave Velocity screening in determining arterial stiffness and cardiovascular events in patients with and without symptoms Key Findings.

3 Measurement of Pulse Wave Velocity is non-invasive, safe, and readily implemented in an office setting Relationship between increase in Pulse Wave Velocity and increase in risk for a first major cardiovascular disease event Copy of complete study found at: UHSproTM provides a turn-key service to quickly start screening patients within a variety of specialties. Providers and patients will be able to review new clinical insights that will help in the management of cardiovascular health. Providers will be able to quickly grow their practices without cost or additional infrastructure. 3 CPT Codes, No Cost, $10K per month Start Today!
