Sphymocor Vx

We are one of the trusted suppliers of SphygmoCor Vx pulse wave velocity system, which non-invasively measures the speed (m/s) of the pressure wave between two locations in the arterial tree. With pressure wave traveling faster through a stiffer vessel, pulse wave velocity has become a crucial measure of the stiffness of that arterial segment.

An increase in arterial stiffness reduces central systolic and pulse pressure - as well as left ventricular after load along with decreasing coronary artery perfusion pressure. The result is increase risk of stroke, heart failure and myocardial infarction. The pulse wave velocity is an effective technique for measuring the arterial stiffness of an arterial segment. Used between the carotid and femoral artery sites, it is used to measure the stiffness of the aorta. Our range of SphygmoCor Vx pulse wave velocity system is a perfect alternative for the SphygmoCor Px pulse wave analysis system. To measure the pressure pulse waveform sequentially in two peripheral artery sites, the system use a 3-lead ECG in conjunction with a tonometer.
