The easy way of checking for risk of HeART ATTACK AND STROKE: boso ABI-system 100 Early detection of PAOD: fast, accurate inexpensive New feature: PWV measurement option Top quality for doctors and clinics

The ankle brachial index Decisive: The ankle brachial index. The ankle brachial index is the best predictor of heart attack, stroke and mortality. An ABI reading of < 0.9, compared with the angiogram as the gold standard, has a sensitivity of up to 95 % in identifying PAOD, and conversely rules out this condition in healthy people with a specificity of almost 100 %.¹ The getABI study² shows that the prevalence of PAOD among individuals aged over 60 is 20 %. clinic ally validated The method previously used to measure ABI was Doppler ultrasound, which is very time-consuming and only produces...

Outstanding: The boso ABI-system. The boso ABI-system offers doctors and patients many benefits compared to the previous Doppler ultrasound method. Early detection and routine check In the past, tests were only carried out if it was thought that a patient might have the condition, partly because the test was time-consuming and expensive. In addition, PAOD is often not detected early enough because it does not cause any symptoms for a long time. The boso ABI-system is an innovative and rapid way of measuring ABI, allowing this test to be carried out on a large scale. It is a simple, routine...

Difference between sides (subclavian artery stenosis) Blood pressure Oscillation profile The sophisticated software accurately calculates ABI both on the left and on the right. Pulse pressure Other important cardiovascular parameters are also measured, such as individual blood pressure readings in arms and legs, differences in blood pressure on different sides of the body (subclavian artery stenosis), pulse, pulse pressure, oscillation profile and pointers to possible cardiac dysrhythmia disorders. This information is easily identifiable as all critical values are presented in a different...

Arterial stiffness readings provide useful information about the existence of functional arterial changes. Pulse wave velocity is a good predictor of the onset of cardiovascular disease. It is more Pulse wave velocity. When managing patients with hypertension, testing for arterial stiffness provides additional information about the cardiovascular risk and shows the existence of hypertensive vascular end- Pulse wave velocity is an additional tool used to diagnose PAOD and measures arterial stiffness. This measurement function is an optional extra with the boso ABI-system. It allows pulse...

The boso ABI-system has undergone clinical assessment comparing it to Doppler-assisted ABI measurement, and was found to be superior.
