Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for nearly one of every three deaths per year1. Most people don’t have symptoms before their first heart attack2. This is why CVD is known as “the silent killer.”

Until the AngioDefender™ system, measuring damage to your arteries required highly technical, expensive, and often invasive procedures. Now you can receive an accurate, non-invasive assessment of your vascular health and overall risk of CVD in just minutes.

HOW ANGIODEFENDER™ WORKS

The AngioDefender™ system measures the health of your endothelium — the single-cell-thick interior lining of all blood vessels in your body.

Using a process called Flow-Mediated Dilation (%FMD), the device runs through a series of inflations and deflations to analyze the endothelium’s response to increased blood flow. Then, by combining the principles of blood pressure, pulse wave analysis, and a proprietary data analysis algorithm, AngioDefender™ produces your unique %FMD score in just minutes.

BE PROACTIVE

AngioDefender™ makes it easy to track your progress toward a healthier heart. Once you’ve received your %FMD score, you and your doctor can create an action plan to decrease your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Soon after beginning your personalized plan, you can expect to see an improvement in your %FMD score.
