Help CenterThe CONNEQT Pulse tracks a comprehensive range of health metrics, offering a deeper understanding of your cardiovascular health. By focusing on these critical indicators, the Pulse helps you monitor your heart and arteries to make informed decisions about your well-being.
Key Metrics Tracked
- Brachial Blood Pressure: A standard measure of blood pressure taken at the arm, used alongside central blood pressure for a complete view of cardiovascular health.
- Central Blood Pressure (CBP): Measures the pressure exerted on your heart and vital organs, providing a more accurate indicator of cardiovascular risk than traditional brachial blood pressure.
- Central Pulse Pressure (CPP): Reflects the pulsatile load on your arteries, giving insight into vascular stress and cardiovascular workload.
- Augmentation Pressure (AP): Indicates the extra pressure caused by arterial wave reflections, helping assess vascular resistance.
- Augmentation Index (AIx): A ratio derived from wave reflections, offering insights into arterial stiffness and how efficiently your cardiovascular system is functioning.
- Subendocardial Viability Ratio (SEVR): Assesses the balance between the oxygen supply to your heart and its demand, providing critical insights into cardiac efficiency.
- Heart Rate: Tracks how fast your heart beats per minute, a fundamental measure of cardiovascular health.
Why These Metrics Matter
Each metric provides valuable insights into specific aspects of your heart and arterial health:
- Identify Risks Early: Metrics like CBP and AIx reveal risks that may not be apparent with traditional measurements.
- Track Progress Over Time: Monitor how your health changes and respond to improvements or concerns.
- Guide Lifestyle Changes: Use personalized insights to adopt habits that support better heart health.
