Cenegenics New York Brings the Latest in Preventive Cardiovascular Diagnostics to Their Elite Health Center
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 13, 2014 -- Endothelix is pleased to announce that Cenegenics® New York is now offering the VENDYS® test. VENDYS is the only FDA-cleared, fully-automated, operator-independent, office-based endothelial function (vascular reactivity) measurement device in the market. VENDYS testing allows for the early detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of mortality in the United States. Over 30% of the time, the first symptom of cardiovascular disease is an actual heart attack or stroke, earning the name "the silent killer." The good news is cardiovascular disease is preventable with proper screening, testing and active prevention.
By incorporating the VENDYS test into its Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention program, the Cenegenics NY center is continuing its proud tradition of going above and beyond in enabling optimal cardiovascular health for its patients. Dr. Joseph E. Bosiljevac, Jr., Dr. Keith Fleischman, and Dr. George Shapiro lead its medical team. Dr. Keith Fleischman states, “At Cenegenics New York we are extremely interested in understanding our patient's cardiovascular health and want to construct our treatment protocols with their total health picture in mind. It is important to understand everything we can about our patients in order to assess and address their unique needs. From a cardiovascular standpoint, we need to understand the functional health of their blood vessels, not simply rely on structural analysis and lipid panels. Assessment of endothelial dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of cardiovascular risk, seen as early as people in their 30s. VENDYS gives us insight into endothelial function in patients and is a useful tool in measuring response to therapy.” The Cenegenics New York center is located on the 55th Floor of the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street, New York City, NY 10005.
The VENDYS automated technology is designed to help physicians detect vascular dysfunction and measure the fitness of a patient’s cardiovascular system. It is an office-based test and provides a patient-friendly report in 15 minutes by simply measuring the temperature in one’s fingers.
VENDYS - Endothelial Function Measurement Explained
The VENDYS test begins with an automated blood pressure measurement, followed by a tightening of the cuff on the right arm. During the cuff occlusion period, fingertip temperature in the right hand falls due to the absence of warm circulating blood. Once the cuff is released, blood flow rushes into the forearm and hand, causing a temperature rebound in the fingertip, which is directly proportional to the vascular function. The higher the temperature rebound, the better the vascular function.
