Parameters Overview
In addition to standard (24h) blood pressure measurement, you can add 6 more hemodynamic parameters to your device via license upgrades.
| Parameters | Basic | License cBP | License PWA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brachial Systole | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Brachial Diastole | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| MAD Mean value of the blood curve over time. | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Heartrate Frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions (beats) of the heart per minute (bpm). | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Pulse Pressure Difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic-Diastolic=Pulse Pressure | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| cBP Systole Central Blood Pressure is the pressure in the ascending aorta, just outside the left ventricle. Here systolic value. | ✘ | ✓ | ✓ |
| cBP Diastole Central Blood Pressure is the pressure in the ascending aorta, just outside the left ventricle. Here diastolic value. | ✘ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Alx @75 Augmentation index, or AIx, is a component of pulse wave analysis and is used to assess vascular end organ damage and individual cardiovascular risk. Normalized here to a heart rate of 75bpm. Augmentationindex (AIx) = Augmentation Pressure (AP) / Pulse Pressure (PP) x 100 | ✘ | ✘ | ✓ |
| Heart minute volume The heart minute volume (HMV) is the amount of blood the heart pumps into the bloodstream in one minute. | ✘ | ✘ | ✓ |
| Peripheral resistance The resistance that the blood vessels and the viscosity of the blood offer to the volume flow generated by the heart. | ✘ | ✘ | ✓ |
| PWV Pulse wave velocity (PWV) refers to the speed of propagation of the pulse wave along the arteries. | ✘ | ✘ | ✓ |
