How the Pulse Tracks Arterial Health

The CONNEQT Pulse uses advanced Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) technology to track arterial health. This cutting-edge approach goes beyond traditional blood pressure monitoring, providing a comprehensive view of your cardiovascular health through the measurement of key arterial biomarkers.

Key Metrics Tracked by the Pulse

The Pulse captures several critical biomarkers that reflect the condition and performance of your arteries:

• Central Blood Pressure (CBP): A precise measure of the pressure exerted on your heart and vital organs, offering deeper insights into cardiovascular risk compared to standard brachial blood pressure.
• Augmentation Pressure (AP): The additional pressure generated by the reflection of blood waves in the arteries, providing insight into arterial resistance and the workload on your heart.
• Augmentation Index (AIx): A measure of the proportion of central pulse pressure attributed to reflected waves. It is a key indicator of arterial stiffness and overall vascular health.
• Subendocardial Viability Ratio (SEVR): This unique metric evaluates the balance between oxygen supply and demand in your heart, providing critical insights into its efficiency and stress levels.

How Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) Works

Pulse Wave Analysis is a non-invasive technique that evaluates the shape and speed of the pressure waves generated by your heartbeat. Here’s how the process works:

1. Measurement: The Pulse captures the waveform of your blood pressure with its high-precision sensors.
2. Analysis: The device analyzes the shape and characteristics of the wave to derive metrics such as central blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and augmentation index.
3. Insights: These metrics are presented in the CONNEQT Pulse and app, offering personalized insights into your arterial health and how it compares to normal vascular aging trends.

Why Arterial Health Matters

Your arteries play a vital role in delivering oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. Tracking arterial health provides:

• Early Detection: Identify signs of vascular aging or cardiovascular risk before symptoms arise.
• Actionable Insights: Make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, treatments, or interventions to improve your cardiovascular health.
• Comprehensive Health Monitoring: Go beyond standard blood pressure readings to gain a deeper understanding of your overall well-being.

The CONNEQT Pulse empowers you to take control of your arterial health with precise, clinically validated data. By understanding key biomarkers, you can proactively manage your cardiovascular health and make strides toward a healthier, longer life.
