DPA Tests ~ Analysis Tool for Early Detection of Heart Disease

DPA ~ Digital Pulsewave Analyzer

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.

Dr. Harry Elwardt believes that the use of the DPA can help caregivers reduce cardiovascular disease in their patient populations through early detection and prevention, and ultimately assist to decrease the associated financial costs placed on the health care industry.

Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer for both men & women in the United States with an estimated economic cost of approximately $298 billion per year.

Decreased Heart Rate Variability ( HRV) implies decreased ability to respond to changes in the environment. Too much consistency in heart rate (less variability) is often associated with dysfunction and disease. The DPA software analyzes imperceptible changes in the heart rate waveforms, provides indices and evaluates the current body condition and activities/balances of the autonomic nervous system.

Low HRV has been shown in numerous longitudinal studies to be related to a higher mortality rate in both healthy and unhealthy subjects. It thus can be shown to be a strong predicator of all-cause mortality.

The heart is not just a simple pump, but a complex sensory organ with its own functional “heart brain” that communicates with and influences the brain via the nervous system, hormonal system and other pathways.

Research has shown that these influences profoundly affect brain function and most of the body’s major organs. Science now confirms that stress significantly increases the risk of heart disease, including sudden cardiac death. Unmanaged emotional stress is equally if not more important than physical variables in determining health outcomes. A conservative estimate is that 75% of visits to primary care physicians are due to stress-related disorders.

Cardiovascular-related issues are not the only uses for the DPA. Psychologists are increasingly recognizing the importance of HRV. A number of studies have demonstrated that patients with anxiety, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) consistently show lower HRV, even when not exposed to a trauma related prompt. Importantly, this relationship existed independent of age, gender, trait anxiety, cardio-respiratory fitness, heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate.

What is an arterial pulse wave? The pulse wave is a physiological phenomenon, observable and measurable in the arterial system during blood circulation. During one heart systole a certain blood volume is expelled. This propagates through the arteries due to the reciprocal transformation between kinetic energy of a segment of the expelled blood volume and the potential energy of a stretched segment of the resilient vascular wall.

With the proper use of the DPA, we can observe the changes in pressure, blood flow, velocity and profile throughout the whole pulse wave. It can be used for classification of the artery elasticity.

Why test for arterial elasticity? “Aging and disease states associated with an increase in cardiovascular events alter the physical characteristics of blood vessel walls and impair the pulsatile function of the arteries. An accumulating body of evidence indicates that impaired pulsitile function of arteries provides important prognostic and therapeutic information beyond that provided by traditional blood pressure measurements.”

“Accumulating evidence suggest that abnormalities in the pulsatile characteristics of arteries occur early in the disease processes associated with increased cardiovascular risk, and can be favorably modified by therapeutic interventions.”

”We now know that the health of the endothelium and the blood vessels directly affects overall cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular disease kills 500,000 Americans every year in the form of heart attack and stroke. About 16 million more Americans suffer pain and disabilities caused by cardiovascular disease. Today, over 60,800,000 Americans (a quarter of the U.S. population) have one or more conditions that put them at risk for heart attack and stroke”.

We create new capabilities for our clients with technology-enhanced world-class health information that exceeds healthcare industry standards. Whether you’re health professional, health plan, or independent representative, our solutions can help you.

”An ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of cure” is a true proverb. The purpose of the DPA screening is to prevent disease before symptoms occur. The DPA test is a simple screening test that may detect these potential problems, all of which are non-invasive and painless. The beauty of the screening is that it is very simple. The tests do not produce any risk or discomfort for patients, and can be done in a matter of minutes for only $30 ($25 for groups of 10 or more). Special Fundraiser Plan for Church groups.

Arterial Blockage in the Heart

Arterial blockage in the heart is a medical condition that needs utmost care because it is a highly serious disease. High intakes of cholesterol and fats are the major causes of blocked arteries and blood vessels. Because of limited blood flow, nutrients and oxygen are not distributed to the different organs and tissues of the human body. For people who barely know this severe medical condition, it is good to look at the different treatments, diagnosis and symptoms of arterial blockage in the heart.

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.

Diagnosis of Arterial Blockage in the Heart

The heart is a very sensitive part of the human body. Therefore, it is highly important to consult the doctors right away upon the onset of the symptoms of arterial blockage. It is highly important to check the medical history of patients, which must be followed by physical examinations. Doctors usually ask their patients of signs like lack of appetite, fatigue and weakness. Precise diagnosis can also be provided by other diagnostic tests such as electrophysiologic testing, stress testing and electrocardiography.

The heart consists of four chambers: there are two at the top called the atria and two at the bottom known as the ventricles. The heart has its own pace maker called the sinoatrial (SA) node which is a small mass of specialized cells in the heart’s right atrium. The sinus node produces electrical pulses which make the heart beat. A distinct signal travels from the sinus node down to the ventricles passing through a specialized conducting tissue called the atrioventricular (AV) node. This process allows the heart to function properly. If the signal does not transmit properly or becomes impaired it results in a heart block.

A heart block is a disease in the electrical system of the heart and as such is a disorder of the heart beat; it can cause lightheadedness, fainting and palpitations.

A heart block should not be confused with coronary artery disease which occurs when the blood vessels are blocked. Coronary artery disease can cause angina (chest pain) or myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Heart blockage is classified into three levels of impairment

1.First degree heart block – occurs when the electrical impulse moves through the AV node at a slower rate than normal.

2.Second degree heart block – occurs when electrical signals are delayed or do not reach the ventricles.

3.Third degree heart block – known as complete heart block where the heart’s electrical signal does not pass from the atria to the ventricles.

Common symptoms of heart blockage, or a heart attack, are severe pressure in the chest, pain in the jaw, neck and arm, shortness of breath, nausea and sweating.

DPA Digital Pulsewave Analyzer

..


DPA Digital Pulsewave Analyzer




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!


The DPA is FDA approved medical equipment used for measurement and analysis of the pulse waveform.

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).


The DPA, performs the automatic analysis of PTG (Plethysmogram), and also delivers secondary differentiated waveform (Accelerated Plethysmogram; (APG) and automatic analysis of it.

The Analysis of PTG prepares the information of heart function, arterial elasticity, dilations, resistance, etc. The latest update on the DPA allows the product to analyse heart rate variability (HRV) from EKG data.

The analysis of APG prepares the information of arterial aging and is used for control of arterial-sclerosis and hypertension.
