Heart Screening

Cardiac Screening

Cardiac Screening can help identify underlying heart conditions that can lead to Heart Attack or Stroke.

1 in 300 people may have a cardiac abnormality.
1.2 million Irish people will suffer from high blood pressure by the year 2020, but ONLY HALF of the people suffering from high blood pressure are aware that they have this condition.

The GAA and Irish Olympic Committee recommend cardiac screening for Athletes.
Cardiac screening is mandatory in some European countries.

Using Cardiologist-approved, patented equipment and software, we measure central Aortic Pressure (CAP) by tracking real-time arterial pulse waves in a non-invasive test.
The test is administered by a Clinical Technician in under 30 minutes, while the patient sits comfortably.

For more than a century, hypertension diagnosis and treatment were based on brachial blood pressure but not central aortic pressure. Blood pressure is conventionally measured in the upper arm and is usually higher than Central Aortic Pressure (CAP) due to the increased pressure associated with smaller arteries in the arm.

CAP captures the blood pressure at the root of the aorta and has been shown to be the strongest predictor for strokes and heart attacks.
