 Cardiologists
at the Johns Hopkins have confirmed that CVP measurement
should be obtained with other parameters such as blood
pressure, temperature, and heart rate during any standard
checkup. Since using cVein™ does not require advanced
medical training, it also makes CVP measurement practical
for all clinicians. cVein™ has the potential to
make a major impact in how clinicians practice healthcare
in the following ways:
Early
Diagnosis of Heart Disease – With cVein™,
physicians can more regularly monitor CVP and get a better
picture of their patients’ cardiovascular health.
Early diagnosis of cardiac problems can lead to early
treatment options and lifestyle changes. Studies have
shown that patients who successfully follow lifestyle
changes demonstrate a 17% decrease in hypertension, 15%
decrease in stroke, and a 6% decrease in coronary heart
disease.
 Monitoring
Elderly Patients – Individuals over the age
of 65 are the fastest growing demographic at a rate of
nearly 10% each year. Heart disease and stroke incidence
rises steeply after age 65, accounting for more than 40%
of all deaths among people age 65 to 74 and almost 60%
above age 85. cVein™ provides clinicians with the
ability to regularly monitor these at-risk patients’
CVP without requiring central venous catheters.
Rapid, Safe, Accurate Measurements –
The innovative technology behind cVein™ enables
clinicians to make quick and accurate measurements of
CVP. Trained operators have been able to make a measurement
of CVP in less than 20 seconds, without any pain or complications
associated with catheterization. These qualities make
cVein™ well-suited for high volume, quick response
environments such as emergency departments and skilled
nursing facilities. |
