The hypertension Challenge

Studies are using to explain the actual situation and the need of improvement.
Usually, high blood pressure has no symptoms at all. That is why it is often called the "silent killer." Millions of people have high blood pressure and many do not even know they have this serious condition.

The Brown study shown the risk of stoke and MI and high systolic pressure

The studies in different countries shown the percentage of patients whose hypertension controlled with treatment

Why such situation?

Patient responses to diagnostic cardiovascular tests, to interventional devices like pacemakers and to pharmacological treatment with drugs are highly variable and unpredictable, and are often composed of changes in blood pressure, hemodynamic, arterial stiffness ,ANS level activity and SpO2 % . Today, their assessment is based on ECG measurements and intermittent standard upper arm NIBP cuff data that misses most if not all of the above responses.

The 2003 European Society of Hypertension guidelines on the management of hypertension acknowledge the potential role of arterial stiffness measurement in clinical management and have prompted the publication of a consensus document on the measurement of central blood pressure and hemodynamics. The guidelines concluded: “Broader implementation of these techniques into routine care seems inevitable”.

Our solution.

ES Oxi /Oxi + and NIBP system solution:

Improvement in essential hypertension diagnosis , treatment management and follow up .

Blood pressure is continually changing depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, physical state, and medication use.

Repeated measurements are important. A single high measurement does not necessarily mean high blood pressure. On the other hand, a single normal measurement does not necessarily mean that non high blood pressure. Many people become nervous at the doctor's office and have higher readings that they normally would at home. This is called white coat hypertension.

Integrated measurement of blood pressure hemodynamic indicators, arterial stiffness, autonomic nervous system level activity and SPO2% in the E.S Oxi or Oxi+ and NIBP systems allow easy and accurate diagnosis and effective follow-up of treatment, and provide the opportunity for immediate feedback to the patient on the effects of therapy and treatment.

Unlike invasive A-lines and PA catheters, which carry a risk of infection or other complications, or the thoracic impedance which cannot be used at home the E.S Oxi, Oxi+ and NIBP systems provide an integrated non-invasive solution for hypertension diagnosis and treatment management plan in medical office, nurse office, clinic and at home with the telemedicine development.

NOTES ! It is important to note that the recommended diagnostic evaluation is based on a consensus and should not be considered evidence-based. A complete history, physical examination, and limited diagnostic testing (urinalysis, complete blood count, potassium, sodium, fasting glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, high-density cholesterol, and electrocardiogram) are recommended once the presence of hypertension has been confirmed.
