Why Monitor?
Why Monitor?
A number of individuals wonder, why do we have to perform these tests to monitor our cardiovascular health? Although these tests may seem insignificant, they have a powerful impact on monitoring -and eventually managing- various diseases. Please view the information below for more information!
Main/Common Cardiovascular Diseases
Main/Common Cardiovascular Diseases
Hypertension
Hypertension is the medical term used to describe when an individual's blood pressure is higher than the norm. This can lead to serious health problems.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery Disease is the build-up of plaque in the arteries. The arteries are responsible for supplying oxygen-rich blood to an individual's heart. A plaque blockage in this area can cause chest pain and/or a heart attack.
Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart Failure, commonly referred to as heart failure, is caused by the build-up of fluids in the heart. The abnormal amount of fluid affects the heart's ability to pump blood, resulting in a decrease in the functional ability of the patient.
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation happens when there is a defect in the heart which results in rhythm, and rate abnormalities. This condition is a form of Heart Arrhythmia.
Examples Of Why These Tests Are Important For Patients
Examples Of Why These Tests Are Important For Patients
The 4 tests that can be used to monitor your cardiovascular health (heart rate, blood pressure, weight monitoring, & pulse oximetry) are beneficial for your health because they can be used to ensure that diseases (such as the ones listed above) don't have a fatal impact on your life!
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood Pressure Monitoring
One of the monitoring methods used to protect your cardiovascular health is the blood pressure monitoring test. This test helps doctors identify any abnormalities and monitor Diabetes, Kidney disease, and Stroke patients!
Pulse Oximetry
Pulse Oximetry
Another monitoring method that can be used to protect your cardiovascular health is the oximetry test. This test helps doctors identify any abnormalities and monitor patients diagnosed with asthma and COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
Our testing system is also beneficial due to the fact that it allows for more accurate results. For example, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is better when the patient performs it in the comfort of their home because patients might experiance “white coat syndrome” at the doctor's office. This may cause the blood pressure to be false elevated due to anxiety; which produces false results.
Monitoring your cardiovascular health is extremely important; the tests provided in the Cardio-Sync Kit could save your life!
