Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Researchers from the Samara University in Russia have discovered a new inexpensive method of gauging vein elasticity by measuring a patient\u2019s heart and pulse rhythm, which may be quite helpful in heart disease prevention.<\/p>\n

The human vascular system has a number of characteristics one should keep an eye on in order to maintain their health, such as, for example, vascular elasticity.<\/p>\n

The more stiff a person\u2019s arterial walls are, the more sensitive they are to blood pressure spikes, and the more susceptible they are to conditions such as atherosclerosis, stroke, heart failure and a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Currently, vascular elasticity is typically evaluated via various instrumental methods involving ultrasound and X-ray diagnostics, which require expensive specialized equipment and trained medical personnel, Samara University experts note.<\/p>\n

However, researchers from the university have recently proposed a less complex diagnostic method based on analyzing the difference between a patient\u2019s heart rhythm and pulse.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeriodic changes in arterial blood pressure, caused by the so-called Mayer waves, may lead to changes in arteries\u2019 elasticity, which results in additional variability in pulse frequency. It is this difference that serves as a marker of arterial walls\u2019 capacity for stretching,\u201d says Alexander Fedotov from the Samara University\u2019s Laser and Biotechnical Systems department.<\/p>\n

According to the scientist, introducing this new non-invasive method of vascular elasticity gauging would help improve the effectiveness of early diagnostics of atherosclerosis and prevent heart attacks.<\/p>\n

Having analyzed the medical data they\u2019ve been provided with, the university researchers determined that patients with implanted pacemakers exhibited a difference \u201cof statistical significance\u201d in their pulse rhythm and heart rhythm (which was set by the pacemaker).<\/p>\n

The researchers hope to draw the attention of physiologists to the patterns they\u2019ve discovered, in order to help further the knowledge of how the human cardiovascular system works.<\/p>\n
