Segmental plethysmography
Measures arterial volume variation during each cardiac cycle.
Product overview
Vasogram clinical workflow
The Vasogram Module in the InterCare Vascular Diagnostic Center provides a comprehensive system for measuring atherosclerotic burden, early detection of coronary arterial disease, potential of stroke, and overall arterial health. An examining table is all that is required for performing this test.
The Vasogram module is a fully automated, computer-controlled air plethysmograph designed for clinical use. It allows physicians to measure compliance of the arteries of the calf and thigh. The test is rapid and painless and can be performed with no risk to the patient in a physician's office.
The Vasogram procedure at the thigh and calf sites records local arterial volume change at seven different cuff pressures. The pressures are centered at the mean non-invasive arm cuff measurement taken at the start of the test and plotted as maximum segmental arterial volume change as a function of cuff pressure.
At the end of approximately a 10-minute exam, the Vasogram machine produces a written report. The document also lists the patient’s cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension and obesity, previously entered into the system by the operator.
The Vasogram technology is based on an extensive multi-center, multi-continent clinical trial program involving over 1,000 human subjects with different degrees of cardiovascular disease or risk factors and those without cardiovascular disease or risk factors.
