[FMD]FMD(Flow Mediated Dilation) of the brachial artery, IMT(Intima Media Thickness) of artery, Smart Cardiovascular Risk Analysis, FMD, IMT, Quipu
Smart Software for assessing early markers of cardiovascular risk !
Endothelial Function and Atherosclerosis !
New generation of cardiovascular risk measurement !
FMD(Flow Mediated Dilation)
- Noninvasive method to check cardiovascular risk.
- In case of impaired FMD response is related to cardiovascular risk. (Smoking, Hypercholesterolemia, Hypertension, Diabetes and aging)
- Endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest detectable signs of atherosclerosis in patients ranging from youngsters to adults.
FMD can be measured by untrasound imaging
- White Paper : International Brachial Artery Reactivity Task Force (Correctti et al., 2002)
- Brachial artery diameter at rest and after reactive hypermia induced by ischemia of the forearm.
- The measurement is made on a B-mode section of the artery.
Software used in conjuction with an ultrasound system, can automatically measure the diameter of the vessel and calculate the value of FMD %

Carotid Stiffness and IMT(Intima Media Thickness)
Arterial stiffness in the development fo cardiovascular diseases
Application for analyzing sequences of ultrasound images of the carotid artery in order to provide information on the satate of vascular health.
IMT(Intima Media Thickness)
- Assessment of arterial stiffness is increasingly used in the clinical assessment of patients.
- Ultrasound imaging can also provide the value of the Intima MediaThickness(IMT).
- The stiffness and thickness of the artery can be combined to provide a value for the elastic properties of the arterial wall material.
