Guard against heart attack with Bio Clip Cuff

Are you worried about cardiac disease? Do you wish you could do more to keep a check on your cardiovascular risk factors?

The Bio Clip Cuff is a simple way of assessing if you are at risk of heart attack or stroke, without the need for expensive blood pressure equipment. You simply attach the device to your arm using an ordinary blood pressure cuff.

What’s more, you can use the Bio Clip Cuff in the comfort of your own home.

What does the Bio Clip Cuff measure?

The Bio Clip Cuff provides a series of metabolic indicators that you can use to improve your lifestyle and so help to prevent the causes of cardiovascular disease.

We all know the risks of being overweight, of having high cholesterol or suffering from high blood pressure. We also know how to reduce those risks – by exercising more, not smoking, reducing our alcohol intake and eating a balanced diet.

But few of us know about the hidden dangers of arterial stiffness, or how to measure it. This is where the Bio Clip Cuff can help to save lives.

What is arterial stiffness?

The Bio Clip Cuff works by measuring your arterial stiffness, which experts say is one of the most important risk factors when it comes to assessing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke.

Arteries are important because they’re responsible for blood flow around your body via your cardiovascular system. To work properly, it’s crucial that your arteries are kept healthy.

The stiffer or less flexible your arteries, the greater your chances of cardiac disease.

What is arterial stiffness? Our arteries decline with age and gradually stiffen, particularly the large arteries such as the aorta. This brings a greater risk of a potentially fatal heart attack, heart failure or stroke.

Yet wouldn’t you recognise the heart failure symptoms as your arteries begin to stiffen?

The answer is no – arterial stiffness can occur without warning. Often there are no symptoms of cardiovascular disease and people don’t suspect they are in danger until they suffer an attack.

How the Bio Clip Cuff helps you

The Bio Clip Cuff provides a stiffness index, by assessing the condition of your arteries. It measures arterial stiffness by recording the speed of your pulse waves, or your arterial pulse wave velocity.

What are arterial pulse waves? They occur as your heart beats and the aortic valve opens. Your aorta receives a sudden rush of blood from the heart. It also receives pressure from the walls of the heart to the walls of the aorta.

The speed of this increased pressure, or pulse wave, reflects the stiffness of your arteries. Imagine kicking a fully-inflated football against a brick wall. t will rebound immediately, but if the ball hits a soft surface, it travels back much more slowly.

Using the Bio Clip Cuff, you can measure your pulse waves in a matter of seconds. You can then use the results to make any necessary changes in your life.

Over time, you can take additional measurements and use this stiffness index to help monitor the continuing state of your arterial health. The Bio Clip Cuff can keep the results of up to 30 tests and give you averages for both your blood pressure and heart rate, in addition arterial stiffness.

The Bio Clip Cuff is easy to use

The Bio Clip Cuff doesn’t puncture your skin and is used on its own, without any attachments. The procedure is straightforward and you don’t need to link to a computer, as the results are shown on the Bio Clip Cuff screen.

An electronic graph display shows if your arteries are normal (green) stiffening (yellow) or stiff (red). In addition, the screen also shows your current heart pulse while at rest and both your systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Armed with this information it’s easy to keep a check on your cardiovascular health and the risks associated with arterial stiffness, such as heart attacks and strokes. Above all, the Bio Clip Cuff provides reassurance and a vital early warning system that helps keep your heart in check, and could save your life.
