Vascular Screening System "VaSera"

The Vascular screening system "VaSsera" is an arteriosclerosis screening tool which ensures: Good reproducibility, Easy operation and Less burden to examinees.

  

Arterial Stiffness Index "CAVI"CAVI (Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index)

CAVI is an index reflecting the stiffness of the artery from the heart to ankles. As arteriosclerosis progresses, the CAVI value becomes higher. It is known that lowered extensibility of the aorta causes onset of heart disease and is a factor determining the prognosis. Thus, CAVI is useful for earlier diagnosis and care. CAVI is calculated based on the stiffness parameter β which is measured by carotid echography or the like and is not affected by blood pressure. Thus, it represents the natural vascular stiffness.

Clinical UsefulnessHelps motivate treatment and correction of lifestyle. Enables quantitative judgment of the effects of risk factors to arteriosclerosis. Enables clear evaluation of medication effects. Principle of CAVI

CAVI is calculated based on the stiffness parameter β which is measured by carotid echography or the like and represents the natural vascular stiffness independent of blood pressure.

Vascular Age Graph

Vascular age can be evaluated through comparison with the average in population with no risk factor of arteriosclerosis. If CAVI is higher than in the healthy of the same age group, it is considered that arteriosclerosis advances in the examinee. It is desired to correct any lifestyle-related disease so that the arteriosclerosis may not be accelerated by any possible complication of diabetes or hypertension.
