DPA - Digital Pulsewave Analyzer - Heart Testing - Symptoms of Arterial Blockage

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 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.

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.
