Continuous Aortic Monitoring

The SphygmoCor Mx Aortic Blood Pressure Monitoring System extends the capabilities of the SphygmoCor Px system by providing continuous, real-time derivation of the aortic pressure waveform.

Key cardiovascular parameters are sampled every 5 seconds, and trended. These parameters include:

• Central Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse Pressures

• Augmentation Index – a measure of the clinical impact of arterial stiffness on the heart

• Ejection Duration – systolic timing, and hence an indicator of myocardial demand

• Subendocardial Viability Ratio – a measure of cardiac reserve

The SphygmoCor Mx System also allows reports to be generated at regular intervals, or whenever required.

The SphygmoCor Mx system utilizes a continual radial artery pressure waveform input. This can be from either a radial artery catheter and BP monitor or a non-invasive radial artery pressure waveform monitor (calibrated or non-calibrated).

Benefits

The SphygmoCor Mx Aortic BP Monitoring System now makes it easier for you to monitor the "definitive" blood pressure – the pressure at the heart.

The system:

• Monitors the complete aortic blood pressure profile that is seen by the left ventricle, the coronary arteries and the baro-receptors - not just the max/min pressure values seen in the radial artery.

• Monitors central blood pressure – the pressure that drives the cerebral blood flow.

• Tracks dynamic changes in LV load and subendocardial viability

• Monitors subtle pressure waveform changes, not just max/min values of blood pressure.
