Help CenterThe CONNEQT Pulse is a powerful tool for managing chronic conditions like hypertension and cardiovascular disease. By providing detailed insights into your arterial health, the Pulse empowers you and your healthcare provider to monitor your progress, adjust treatment plans, and make informed decisions about your care.
Supporting Hypertension Management
Hypertension remains a leading cause of vascular morbidity and mortality, often requiring precision tools for effective diagnosis and management. The CONNEQT Pulse offers advanced insights into hypertension by incorporating central blood pressure (CBP) and related arterial biomarkers, which are clinically validated as superior predictors of cardiovascular events compared to traditional brachial blood pressure readings .
- Central Blood Pressure (CBP): CBP directly reflects the pressure experienced by critical organs, such as the heart and brain, making it the most relevant measure of cardiovascular risk. Unlike brachial blood pressure, CBP cannot be reliably inferred from peripheral measurements due to the amplification phenomenon, which causes significant discrepancies in systolic pressures between central and peripheral arteries .
- Identifying Isolated Central Hypertension: The Pulse enables detection of isolated central hypertension, a condition where central pressures are elevated despite normal brachial pressures. This condition has been shown to carry the highest risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to isolated brachial hypertension or concordant hypertension .
- Guiding Treatment Plans: By monitoring CBP, the Pulse helps avoid overtreatment in cases like white coat hypertension and supports the titration of antihypertensive medications, ensuring optimal dosing without excessive side effects. Evidence from studies like BP GUIDE demonstrates that central BP monitoring reduces the need for medications while achieving effective blood pressure control .
Empowering Lifestyle Adjustments
For individuals managing chronic conditions, lifestyle changes often play a vital role in improving outcomes. The Pulse helps you:
- Understand the Impact of Changes: Track how dietary improvements, regular exercise, or stress reduction affect your arterial health metrics.
- Set Goals: Use the app’s insights to establish achievable targets for blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and other key biomarkers.
- Stay Motivated: Seeing progress in your readings provides encouragement to maintain healthy habits.
A Partner in Long-Term Health
With its ability to track advanced arterial health metrics and provide actionable insights, the CONNEQT Pulse is more than a monitoring device—it’s a partner in managing chronic conditions. By combining real-time data with long-term trends, the Pulse empowers you and your healthcare provider to take control of your heart health, improving outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
