Segmental plethysmography
Measures arterial volume variation during each cardiac cycle.
Product overview
Vasocor clinical workflow
An estimated 16.7 million — or 29.2 percent of total global deaths — result from the various forms of CVD, many of which are preventable by action on the major primary risk factors: unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and smoking. Of the 16.7 million deaths from CVDs every year, 7.2 million are due to ischaemic heart disease, 5.5 million to cerebrovascular disease, and an additional 3.9 million due to hypertension and other heart conditions.
The major CVDs include coronary or ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, heart failure, and rheumatic heart disease. Despite major efforts by health care professionals, cardiovascular disease remains the primary cause of death in the United States. Half of the victims of sudden cardiac death exhibit no prior symptoms and have no knowledge of their impending health risk.
The InterCare Vascular Diagnostic Center (Vasocor Model 300) was developed to measure vascular health in patients before exhibiting symptoms. It does this by estimating atherosclerotic burden and arterial compliance. The results can assist physicians in assessing and managing patients already demonstrating, or with the potential for developing, underlying vascular disease.
A comprehensive system for measuring atherosclerotic burden, this technology uses segmental plethysmography to measure and record instantaneous variation in arterial volume in a specific limb segment during each cardiac cycle.

Pressure steps are centered around the mean arm cuff measurement.
Calf and thigh sites
Compliance is measured across selected limb segments.
Report output
Exam produces a written report with cardiovascular risk factors.
