Continuous Aortic Monitoring The SphygmoCor Mx Aortic Blood Pressure Monitoring
System extends the capabilities of the SphygmoCor Px
system by providing continuous, real-time derivation of
the aortic pressure waveform. Key cardiovascular parameters are sampled every 5
seconds, and trended. These parameters include:
-
Central Systolic, Diastolic,
and Pulse Pressures
-
Augmentation Index – a measure of the clinical impact
of arterial stiffness on the heart
-
Ejection Duration – systolic timing, and hence an
indicator of myocardial demand
-
Subendocardial Viability Ratio – a measure of cardiac
reserve
The SphygmoCor Mx System also allows reports to be
generated at regular intervals, or whenever required.
The SphygmoCor Mx system utilizes a continual radial
artery pressure waveform input. This can be from either
a radial artery catheter and BP monitor or a
non-invasive radial artery pressure waveform monitor
(calibrated or non-calibrated).
Benefits
The SphygmoCor Mx Aortic BP Monitoring System now makes
it easier for you to monitor the "definitive" blood
pressure – the pressure at the heart.
The system:
-
Monitors the complete aortic blood pressure profile
that is seen by the left ventricle, the coronary
arteries and the baro-receptors - not just the max/min
pressure values seen in the radial artery.
-
Monitors central blood pressure – the pressure that
drives the cerebral blood flow.
-
Tracks dynamic changes in LV load and subendocardial
viability
-
Monitors subtle pressure waveform changes, not just
max/min values of blood pressure.
