Cardiotrack at St Judes Clinic.
Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of premature death in the UK and the CardioTrack test system can alert you to the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by testing the health of your main arteries, in just a few minutes.
Proven in Clinical Trials at a leading London hospital, CardioTrack determines the condition of the main arteries by measuring their elasticity, a key indicator for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD).
This new technology tests for endothelial dysfunction and large artery stiffness, both recognised as significant risk factors for predicting major cardiovascular events.
The data provided by CardioTrack may be extremely valuable in helping to:
- Assess cardiovascular health
- Monitor the progress of vascular disease
- Monitor the effect of targeted supplements or medication
- Monitor the effect of changes to lifestyle and general diet
How does it work?
To conduct the test, an infrared sensor is clipped on to your index finger. No discomfort whatsoever is experienced as a harmless infrared light is transmitted through the finger.
CardioTrack then gathers data via the sensor and analyses the condition of your cardiovascular system. Sample data gathered from a cross section of healthy subjects is stored in the device, which serves as a benchmark for comparing the results from each test.
CardioTrack uses these results to estimate the relative 'age' of the patient's arteries... For example, an apparently healthy male aged 35 with no known history of cardiovascular disease could actually have the arteries typical of a man aged 65. This result would indicate a premature aging or stiffness of the patient's main arteries that had not been previously diagnosed.
