Imagine being able to see a patient’s cardio-health over 24 hours: Where you can see a continuous, reaction-less beat-to-beat data set. That’s now possible thanks to the big data provided by our patented PTT method. Click below to see an example of a 24h blood pressure report from our analytics software.
ABPM starts with the somnoTOUCH™ NIBP.
The SOMNOtouch™ NIBP represents the latest generation of ambulatory blood pressure recording at CARDIOdiagnostics a division of SOMNOmedics. It measures blood pressure continuously, beat-to-beat, based on the pulse transit time (PTT).
The PTT is the time required for the pulse wave to propagate along the vessel wall between two defined points. In the case of the SOMNOtouch NIBP – From the left ventricle of the heart (defined by the ´R´peak of the ECG) – to the finger tip (detected by the plethysmograph).
In addition to the continuous, non-reactive long-term blood pressure measurement, further diagnostically relevant information are simultaneously recorded in one measurement: Due to the parallel recording, the measurement results can be correlated directly with each other, which allows a deeper insight into the nocturnal blood pressure behaviour.5 Simultaneous measurements in one device
The course of nocturnal blood pressure has a high diagnostic value.Continuous ABPM with every heart beat
Continuous blood pressure determination without a cuff offers a multitude of advantages in nocturnal blood pressure measurements during sleep:
These sensors allow a correlation of blood pressure values with other diagnostic parameters (e.g. desaturations (respiratory analysis) or PLMs).Extra Optional Sensors
Hypertension affects everyone. While the cost of treating high blood pressure
is expected to continually increase. Find out more in our dedicated ABPM solutions
