Healthy-CardioCheck

As a subsidiary of The Healthy Group, Healthy-CardioCheck is dedicated to the diagnosis and provision of support for treatments of all forms of cardiovascular disease.

Our mission here at Healthy-CardioCheck is to share information about and provide access to the latest techniques for testing the elasticity of your veins and arteries. This can be achieved using the latest cutting edge technology and testing equipment initially developed by the British company Micro Medical, now owned by Cardinal Health, the 9th biggest company in the world at a turnover of US$97 billion.

Medical Science has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the fight against cardiovascular disease, one of the main causes of premature death in the Western world. CardioCheck can alert you to the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by testing the health of your main arteries, in just a few minutes!

We can provide one to one testing for individuals and families, group testing at UK gyms and sports clubs, visit UK based company premises to conduct employee heart health assessments and also supply the CardioCheck equipment to employers, and professionals health, wellness and fitness training in over 80 countries worldwide.

Blood pressure and blood cholesterol tests cannot prove the existence or otherwise of cardiovascular disease. It is true there are people with relatively high levels of cholesterol that show no signs of CVD. Conversely, there are as many people with normal or low levels of cholesterol who do suffer from CVD. High blood pressure can be a consequence of arteriosclerosis, and it can also be a contributory factor. Hypertension on its own does not necessarily confirm the presence of any other cardiovascular related illness.   

CardioCheck  is probably the most accurate, non-invasive diagnostic tool available that can establish not only the relative health of major arteries, but also monitor the effects of any ongoing therapy, treatment or dietary changes...

Most importantly , CardioCheck enables the health or wellness practitioner to conduct routine check-ups without the patient having to attend a hospital or specialist clinic.

Expect to see CardioCheck in doctor's surgeries, clinics, pharmacies, health spas and sports clubs in the near future. Medical experts believe this method of testing arterial wellness could be instrumental in saving many lives in the years ahead, as well as helping to make a significant impact on the early diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease.

CardioCheck can alert you to the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by testing the health of your main arteries, in just a few minutes! Proven in Clinical Trials at a leading London hospital, CardioCheck - see picture on left - determines the condition of the main arteries by measuring their elasticity, a key indicator for identifying cardiovascular disease (CVD). This amazing new technology tests for large arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction, both recognised as significant risk factors for predicting major cardiovascular events. The data provided by CardioCheck may be extremely valuable in helping to:

 

• Assess cardiovascular health
• Monitor the progress of vascular disease
• Monitor the effect of targeted supplements or medication
• Monitor the effect of changes to lifestyle and general diet
  

CardioCheck - How It Works:

To conduct the test, the patient simply clips an infrared sensor on to their index finger.     No discomfort whatsoever is experienced by the patient as a harmless infrared light is transmitted through the finger. CardioCheck then gathers data via the sensor and analyses the condition of the patient's cardiovascular system. Sample data gathered from a cross section of healthy subjects is stored in the device, which serves as a benchmark for comparing the results from each test. CardioCheck uses these results to estimate the relative 'age' of the patient's arteries...

For example, an apparently healthy male aged 35 with no known history of cardiovascular disease could actually have the arteries typical of a man aged 65. This result would indicate a premature aging or stiffness of the patient's main arteries that had not been previously diagnosed.


The CardioCheck System In A Briefcase:

CardioCheck is a portable instrument supplied
in a durable shock resistant travel case together with  
a powerful software analysis programme on CD Rom...










Printed Report:

CardioCheck includes PC compatible software, a database application that allows the operator to upload and store the results and waveforms then view the profile of a particular patient via the search facility. The programme also allows for effective management of data, including generating a printed report and if required, export of the results to other applications.

Your body converts L-arginine into nitric oxide, which helps blood vessels to remain open and blood to flow more efficiently and smoothly throughout the body. Nitric oxide is essential for the maintenance and restoration of blood vessels.

Nitric oxide helps blood vessels open up when there is a need for increased blood flow, and has been shown to reduce dangerous plaque buildup in the arteries. Antioxidants have been shown to help the body regenerate tissue and prevent aging.
