SCREENING DESCRIPTION

Using a blood pressure cuff, the AngioDefender device conducts a simple test in less than 8 minutes. The cuff wraps around a patient’s arm, then inflates and deflates to measure the elasticity of the brachial artery. This measurement, called Flow Mediated Dilation (FMD), helps providers assess the health of a patient’s endothelium when combined with a sophisticated algorithm, the principles of plesmography and pulse wave analysis.
