CV Profiler: finally, a simple, non-invasive test for cardiovascular health risks

Hardened arteries cause heart attacks and strokes. Are your arteries hardened?

Cardiovascular disease is the greatest cause of death and disability in the US - resulting in more deaths than the next 7 highest causes combined.

Cardiovascular disease begins to compromise the heart and circulatory system decades before symptoms appear, so it’s highly important not to wait for symptoms to appear before seeking advice from a physician. Cardiovascular disease has a genetic precursors, and places both men and women at risk.

Who is at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease?

If you are between the ages of 15 and 55, have a family history of cardiovascular disease, or diabetes, and/or you have risk factors for cardiovascular disease (smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, lack of regular exercise) it is highly important that you assess your cardiovascular health as soon as possible. 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 to your physician that you have underlying cardiovascular disease.

What to Expect During the CVProfilor Test

The CVProfilor test is similar to a blood pressure test, with a special acoustic sensor placed on your right wrist.  Simple, and non-invasive; (no needles!) the test requires 5 minutes of your time in Dr. Terlinsky’s office.

What the CVProfiler Tells Dr. Terlinsky About Your Health

The report generated by the test provides new information about your vascular health. The lower your elasticity indices, the more risk you have for potential underlying cvd. Dr. Terlinsky will review your results with you, and if appropriate, develop a risk-reduction treatment plan to improve the elasticity of your arteries and your general health. This might include a low-fat diet, increased exercise, quitting smoking, decreasing alcohol consumption, losing weight, and possibly medication.

Major benefits: A disease-prevention plan can stop and possibly reverse the progressive stiffening of arteries that often precedes heart attack and strokes.

Will medical insurance pay for my CVProfile?

Most medical insurance plans cover all or part of the CVProfilor test.
