Cholesterol numbers are only one piece of cardiovascular health. Arterial stiffness is increasingly recognized as one of the most important predictors of cardiovascular risk. DexaFit KC now offers SphygmoCor arterial assessment: a fast, non-invasive test that measures what standard blood pressure cuffs simply can't.
SphygmoCor is FDA-cleared technology used in cardiovascular research and clinical practice worldwide. It measures your central aortic blood pressure (the pressure at your heart - not your arm) and your arterial pulse wave velocity, which is the clinical standard for measuring arterial stiffness. These numbers reflect the true load on your heart and vasculature - data that peripheral blood pressure alone cannot provide.
The blood pressure your heart actually "sees" - which can differ significantly from the reading taken at your arm. A critical metric for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Pulse Wave Velocity measures how quickly pressure waves travel through your arteries. Higher stiffness = higher cardiovascular risk. This is the metric your doctor may not be measuring.
A marker of wave reflection from your arteries that adds to the load on your heart. Elevated values are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
Your arteries may be biologically older or younger than your chronological age. SphygmoCor gives you a vascular age estimate - one of the most motivating and actionable metrics available.
Combine a SphygmoCor arterial assessment with a VO2 Max test for the most complete non-invasive cardiovascular health snapshot available outside a hospital setting. Together they measure the structure of your arteries and the functional capacity of your heart and lungs.
