| 20080255471 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING VASCULAR HEALTH CONDITIONS - The present invention relates to assessing and measuring vascular and endothelial function. A vasostimulant is provided to a patient to stimulate hemodynamic activity in a selected extremity and vascular function is assessed by monitoring a change in a blood flow, skin temperature and/or blood oxygen content at the selected extremity and assessing the patient's vascular function based upon the monitoring. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080281205 | Methods and Apparatuses For Medical Imaging - A method for detection, localization, and quantification anatomical, morphological or structural features of site sites by analyzing data acquired before injection of a contrast agent and after injection the contrast agent. New catheters for use with the method is also disclosed. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090137884 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REPEATED ISCHEMIC CONDITIONING TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION AND OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS - Methods for ischemic conditioning treatments of a chronic medical condition are provided. Baseline disease-related parameters of a patient with a chronic medical condition are measured. Ischemia is induced in the patient by occluding and releasing arterial flow in one or more extremities of the patient. Post-ischemia parameters in the patient are measured. The baseline and post-ischemia parameters are compared to provide an assessment of an ischemic conditioning treatment of a chronic medical condition. The repeated, scheduled delivery of ischemic conditioning provides a beneficial, therapeutic effect on the chronic medical condition. Also provided is a device for pulse oximetry during periods of absent or low pulsatile blood flow including an artificial pulse generator as well as the use of said device in assessment of ischemic conditioning. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090177224 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BLOOD SAMPLING - Methods and apparatus for blood sampling from skin capillaries are provided. Blood extraction is improved by applying gradient pressure in a proximal to distal direction of an extremity. Blood is extracted and sampled from the skin capillaries with a blood sampling mechanism of at least a lancet and testing kit. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090287069 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REPEATED ISCHEMIC CONDITIONING TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION AND OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS - Methods for ischemic conditioning treatments of a chronic medical condition are provided. Baseline disease-related parameters of a patient with a chronic medical condition are measured. Ischemia is induced in the patient by occluding and releasing arterial flow in one or more extremities of the patient. Post-ischemia parameters in the patient are measured. The baseline and post-ischemia parameters are compared to provide an assessment of an ischemic conditioning treatment of a chronic medical condition. The repeated, scheduled delivery of ischemic conditioning provides a beneficial, therapeutic effect on the chronic medical condition. Also provided is a device for pulse oximetry during periods of absent or low pulsatile blood flow including an artificial pulse generator as well as the use of said device in assessment of ischemic conditioning. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090295385 | Magneto Sensor System and Method of Use - Instruments, systems and methods for using the instrument and systems are disclosed, where the systems include a magneto sensor, such as a superconducting quantum interference device (“SQUID”) and are designed to detect changes in a magnetic field in an animal including a human. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090322323 | Intraluminal Magneto Sensor System and Method of Use | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100081941 | CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH STATION METHODS AND APPARATUS - Methods and apparatus for improving measurements of cardiovascular health status in a given individual are provided. The comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health includes at least two components: risk factor assessment based on epidemiologic studies and functional status of the individual. Structural studies of the individual can also be included in the comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health. The invention aims to improve detection, treatment, devices, and administration of cardiovascular risk assessment. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100105993 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR NONINVASIVE ISCHEMIC CONDITIONING - A method for ischemic conditioning treatment in a patient is provided. Transient ischemia is caused by interrupting blood flow to a tissue and a response to the ischemic conditioning treatments is monitored and the ischemia and response thereto is adjusted and controlled based on the monitoring results. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100185220 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLED ISCHEMIC CONDITIONING - Methods and apparatus for ischemic conditioning treatment in a patient are provided. Transient ischemia is caused by interrupting blood flow to a tissue. Markers of ischemia and metabolism are monitored in the tissue and the induced ischemia is adjusted based on the monitoring results. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100278405 | Scoring Method for Imaging-Based Detection of Vulnerable Patients - A new cardiac risk factors are disclosed along with method for deriving the components of the factors, for developing the factors and for using the factors. Methods for computing pericardial fat and abdominal fat are also disclosed as well as methods for motion compensation. | 11-04-2010 |
