Meridian Medical Inc. (MMI) Introduces the publication of an article in the prestigious Townsend Letter, May 2010 issue.
The research article clearly validates the importance of the Meridian Digital Pulse Wave Analyzer in many high risk health care concerns, as published in the May edition of the Townsend Letter. The article entitled 'Breakthrough in Clinical Cardiology: In-Office Assessment with Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and Digital Pulse Analysis (DPA)' coauthored by Brian Scott Peskin, BSEE, with Robert Jay Rowen, MD.
This article goes on to say it 'explores an exciting, noninvasive, easy-to-use, and economical method of assessing patients' cardiovascular physiologic status that is backed by more than 25 years of advanced research in medical physics'.
The article also quotes the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) having added PWV measurement as an early index of large artery stiffening in their 2007 Guideline for the Management of Arterial Hypertension. The Digital Pulse Analysis (DPA) is the next evolution in pulse wave velocity (PWV), and is based on the measurement of reflected infrared light (IR).
Another very exciting highlight of the article is not only cardiovascular screenings but it shows strong promise in the areas of early detection Diabetes.
In the ongoing study-2010/2009 IOWA (Investigation Oils with Respect to Arterial Blockage) IOWA's goal is to assess the ...
