A device which can be worn like a watch could revolutionise the way blood pressure is monitored in the next few years, scientists say.

Researchers at the University of Leicester and in Singapore have developed a device to measure pressure in the largest artery in the body.

Evidence shows it gives a much more accurate reading than the arm cuff.

The technology is funded by the Department of Health and backed by Health Secretary Andrew Lansley.

It works by a sensor in the watch recording the pulse wave of the artery, which is then fed into a computer together with a traditional blood pressure reading from a cuff.

“This is a great example of how research breakthroughs and innovation can make a real difference to patients’ lives” Quote Andrew Lansley Health Secretary

Scientists are then able to read the pressure close to the heart, from the aorta.

Professor Bryan Williams, from the University of Leicester’s department of cardiovascular sciences at Glenfield Hospital, said: “The aorta is millimetres away from the heart and close to the brain and we have always known that pressure here is a bit lower than in the arm.

“Unless we measure the pressure in the aorta we are not getting an appreciation of the risks or benefits of treatment.”

He said the device would “change the way blood pressure has been monitored for more than a century” and he expected the technology to be used in specialist centres soon, before being “used much more widely” within five years.

“The beauty of all of this is that it is difficult to argue against the proposition that the pressure near to your heart and brain is likely to be more relevant to your risk of stroke and heart disease than the pressure in your arm,” he said.

But it was important to ensure the new device was as small as possible to encourage clinicians and patients to use it, he added.

The research work was funded by the Department of Health’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).

The NIHR invested £3.4m, with a further £2.2m of funding coming from the Department of Health, to establish a Biomedical Research Unit at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester.

The university collaborated with the Singapore-based medical device company HealthSTATS International.

Dr Choon Meng Ting, chairman of HealthSTATS, said: “This study has resulted in a very significant translational impact worldwide as it will empower doctors and their patients to monitor their central aortic systolic pressure easily, even in their homes and modify the course of treatment for blood pressure-related ailments.”

Mr Lansley said the device was “a great example of how research breakthroughs and innovation can make a real difference to patients’ lives”.

Judy O’Sullivan, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said previous research had shown that measuring pressure close to the heart was a better indicator of the effectiveness of treatment for high blood pressure than the standard method.

“However, further research is needed before we can be certain of its superiority in the doctor’s surgery,” she said.

Symposium Update
February 18, 2011

Due to a few flight schedule changes, there will be some minor adjustments on our final agenda for the Symposium.  We will send out a mostly complete Agenda for the Symposium on Monday,  February 21, 2011.  It will of course, be subject to change if necessary.

We will need to cut off the registration on Wednesday,  February 23, 2011.  The entire Lake Como Heart Institute staff will be traveling to Spokane that day.  We have to get all the final numbers into the Davenport Hotel in order to plan adequately for meals and room set-up.  Please take note of this and get your registrations in as soon as possible.

Thank you all so much for your support of this event.

Dr. Nick Martinuik recorded a call (2-2-11) on the science behind l-arginine and also had some of his patients give their personal testimonials. This is a great call to listen to if you want to know the science of why ProArgi9 works. It also has some excellent testimonials, one from a health care professional who up until now did not really believe natrual supplements could prove they work.

You can also go the link http://www.byoaudio.com/play/WYDQdGK4 to listen to the call

Below are some of the details on the Heart Symposium. As we get closer you will find some things added. It will also have some freebies included. This will be a rare opportunity for you to get this much education on the product, the science, the studies and the business from highly qualified professionals in such a short period of time.

Los Angeles • Strokes are rising dramatically among young and middle-aged Americans while dropping in older people, a sign that the obesity epidemic may be starting to shift the age burden of the disease.

The numbers, reported Wednesday at an American Stroke Association conference, come from the first large nationwide study of stroke hospitalizations by age. Government researchers compared hospitalizations in 1994 and 1995 with ones in 2006 and 2007.

The sharpest increase — 51 percent — was among men 15 through 34. Strokes rose among women in this age group, too, but not as fast — 17 percent.

“It’s definitely alarming,” said Ralph Sacco, American Heart Association president and a neurologist at the University of Miami. “We have worried for a while that the increased prevalence of obesity in children and young adults may take its toll in cardiovascular disease and stroke,” and that appears to be happening, he said.

Stroke still takes its highest toll on older people. For those over 65, there were nearly 300 stroke cases among 10,000 hospitalizations in the more recent period studied. For males 15 to 34, there were about 15 stroke cases per 10,000, and for girls and women in that age group there were about 4 per 10,000.

Several small studies had recently suggested an ominous rise among the young and among middle-aged women.

This is a recorded call Dr. Joseph Prendergast on l-arginine, the science and the ProArgi9 formulation from 1-12-11. You will find great information on this recording that will help you understand the why and how of heart disease and the benefits of using the ProArgi9 supplement.
