Introducing CvCu (Cardiovascular
Checkup)
Now for the first time, it is possible to identify and measure one of the major causes of
cardiovascular disease; Elevated Arterial Stiffness,
i.e Stiff/Hardened Arteries.
The
risk factors
shown above all cause
your arteries to become stiff and hard. This in turn exposes you to heart
attack, stroke, heart failure and other cardiovascular health problems.
The CvCu Assessment is used and endorsed in several major medical institutes worldwide
and is now available in
Australia. This simple ten minute non-invasive, safe and painless test performed in the
comfort of your home or office can identify if you’re at risk of suffering
from heart attack or stroke. As well as receiving an immediate
report, your results can be sent to a specialist cardiologist
for further comment.
This simple clinically proven test will assess your cardiovascular health and
most importantly measure the stiffness/hardness of
your arteries. Arteries stiffen naturally as we grow older, with the CvCu Assessment you
can find out if your arteries are stiffening too quickly for your age.
You don't really know your Cardiovascular Health
until you look!
How Does The CvCu Assessment Work?

The pictures to the left show how simple
it is to obtain your pressure pulse waveform. This waveform is then analysed by
state of the art software to calculate your arterial stiffness and
efficiency of your heart. These key heart function parameters are
then compared against population "normals" to assess your
cardiovascular risk and status.

Symptoms of cardiovascular disease only become obvious in
the advanced stages. Many people die from heart attack or stroke with little
warning or obvious symptoms. Cardiovascular disease accounts for 40% of all
deaths in Australia.
Early Detection and Prevention is the
Key.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you or anyone in your family have high blood
pressure?
- Do you or anyone in your family have high
cholesterol?
- Do you or anyone in your family suffer from
diabetes?
- Do you smoke?
- Are you over 40 years of age?
- Are you physically inactive?
- Are you overweight?
- Do you stress easily?

Answering "YES" to any one of these questions places
you at risk of developing cardiovascular disease hence making the CvCu assessment
highly applicable to you.
Research
has shown that cardiovascular disease occurs at all ages in both men and women.
Therefore, premature stiffening of your arteries may be an important indication
that you have cardiovascular disease. If so preventive measures need to be taken, before the disease progresses.
The CvCu assessment can
potentially identify health problems that may not be detected for years or worse
still until it's too late to do anything about them.
