Meridian DPA/HRV
The Digital Arterial Pulsewave Analyzer (DPA) is an FDA cleared devise that screens for and measures any loss of elasticity in the arteries (from the aorta to the smallest peripheral vessels). This non-invasive test then assigns a “biological age” to the arteries after analyzing various parameters of arterial elasticity.
A digital printout illustrates if arteries are younger or older than the patients chronological age. This information is critical since the loss of elasticity can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. By discovering these changes before an actual disease is developed or diagnosed, lifestyle changes can be implemented to positively result in measurable change. For maintaining health, when an advanced “biological age” is discovered, or even after a diagnosis is made, lifestyle changes and appropriate supplementation are recommended.
The DPA also incorporates a second test – Heart Rate Varibility (HRV). This non-invasive test looks at the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is estimated that approximately 90% of doctor visits are stress related. The long-term negative impact of stress on our health is well documented. This test allows your patient to visualize the imbalance and again, through lifestyle changes and proper supplementation, make positive, measurable change that will impact their health and well-being.
By a health care provider offering these preventative tests for their patients, very positive, long-term and measurable health changes can result when lifestyle changes and supplementation is followed and continued.
