Central Aortic Blood Pressure Measurement Offers Deeper Insights to Support Research

More Data to Better Understand Cardiovascular Impact

Standard cardiovascular evaluation tools traditionally used in research have limited ability to characterize the hemodynamic effects of pharmacological or device-based interventions.

ATCOR’s noninvasive central aortic blood pressure waveform analysis and carotid-femoral PWV measurements directly assess aortic pressures and stiffness. These measurements bring value, confidence, and granularity to drug development and medical device interventions.

      Advanced Hemodynamic Assessment Provides Greater Physiological Understanding

      Central hemodynamic assessments such as aortic pressure waveform analysis (PWA) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement present offer a deeper understanding of the cardiovascular impact of disease and specific interventions. By characterizing ventricular-arterial interactions, pulse wave analysis can independently predict response to therapies, target organ damage, and risk of cardiovascular events. These critical insights significantly enhance investigators’ clinical program decision-making.

      Incorporating central arterial waveform analysis into your research allows you to:
      • Assess potential off-target benefits of novel interventions
      • Improve mechanistic understanding of interventions
      • Inform future cardiovascular outcome trials
      • Facilitate safety assessments
