Cardioventis Story

By Team Cardioventis | Published September 6th, 2011
(0)

Every year, millions of people around the world are affected by heart disease and its complications. We hear about it on T.V, read about it in the newspaper, and listen to it on the radio. Sometimes it is someone we know.

We are shocked and worried for a while, then we forget about it until the next victim comes to our attention. Few of us realize that the complications of heart disease can be avoided by early screening tests and regular checkups with a health care professional. This is all the more important if you have a strong family history of heart disease.We have many reasons to procrastinate about visiting our doctor—it is expensive to do screening tests, we don’t want to wait in a physician’s office with sick people, we have more worthwhile and entertaining activities to pursue. When we are still healthy, we don’t give much thought to our health. Then, one fine day we end up in the emergency room, the place we dread.

Breaking out of this vicious cycle is not easy and there are no miracle cures for heart disease and its complications. But, thanks to the rapid growth of technologies, today it is possible to have a screening test in the comfort of our home, and home health care is now affordable.

We were motivated to start Cardioventis by the struggle physicians and many healthcare facilities face in running their businesses. We realized we could improve healthcare practices with our own experience as practicing physicians. We started the company during the last quarter of 2009. Our goal was to make a business of converging medicine with technology. The objectives are to educate people, support them with technology, and help them keep healthy with these technologies. We work to answer the vexing question, “How can I sleep better at night and not worry I’m going to have a heart attack?”

Along the way, we decided that making a difference to people’s lives was as important as profit. Sharing the profits with other worthwhile non profit organizations through a 3-I program was envisioned. We’re inspired by those who go into business for the benefit of others.

Our work environment skips the formal corporate ladder in favor of a place where anyone with ideas can freely share them—this helps us stay on the edge of the curve, and ensures our customers always come first. We keep ourselves lean with hands-on managers and no red tape, allowing ourselves the freedom to help our customers without the hassle of board room decisions.

Our Vision:

We want to  let noble thoughts come to us from every side, so that we can develop and design innovative methods that allow health care professionals to perform more efficient, accurate ameliorative procedures to improve not only people’s health, but also general wellness.

It helps with consumers with cardiovascular disease and risk factors for heart disease like- hypertension, increased cholesterol, diabetes and with symptoms of palpitation, chest tightness, chest pain in middle-aged or elderly people a easy way to closely monitor their heart conditions.

ECG Clinical Application

The heart generates electrical activity during contraction. The activity of the atria and the ventricular are conducted to the skin. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the graphic representation of the heart’s electrical activity per beat, which is recorded by the electrocardiograph device. The importance of ECG is that it can help to diagnose abnormal heart rhythms like arrhythmia. Today, the ECG is becoming the standard tool in clinical diagnosis of arrhythmia. The examination of the heart by ECG helps to diagnose the abnormal heart rhythms and choose the appropriate treatment.

Why do you need an ECG examination?

The ECG can provide a reference tool for early detection of any abnormal heart diseases. Regular ECG examination is recommended for all. In the past  many healthy athletes and young people who were unaware of any preexisting heart condition have had cardiac arrest during practices and events.

Many people suffer from other diseases such as nerve muscle disease, and electrolyte imbalances. These diseases can be life threatening if not monitored earlier.

Elderly individuals, Athletes, obese individuals, Hypertensive, and high cholesterol individuals are at risk. Despite absence of symptoms, it is recommended that they regularly have their ECG recorded. Persons having an asphyxiating sensation or heaviness in the chest, and those with shortness or skips in their breath also may want to use the ECG as a cautionary form of diagnosis to be further assessed by their physician.

Cardioventis with Intelligent Health Solutions Support Fresh Air Fund.

The Fresh Air Fund-Racers are on March 20th, 2011 at NYC Half-Marathon!

This amazing 13.1-mile course takes you through beautiful Central Park, action-packed Times Square and ends with breathtaking finish-line views of the New York City harbor. More than 11,000 runners, of all ages and abilities, finished the NYC Half-Marathon last year, and we are so proud of 2010 Fresh Air Fund-Racers who ran and raised $100,000 for Fresh Air Fund!

Fresh Air children are boys and girls, six to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children on first-time visits are six to 12 years old and stay for either one or two weeks. Youngsters who are re-invited by the same family may continue with The Fund through age 18, and many enjoy longer summertime visits, year after year. A visit to the home of a warm and loving volunteer host family can make all the difference in the world to an inner-city child. All it takes to create lifelong memories is laughing in the sunshine and making new friends.

The majority of Fresh Air children are from low-income communities. These are often families without the resources to send their children on summer vacations. Most inner-city youngsters grow up in towering apartment buildings without large, open, outdoor play spaces. Concrete playgrounds cannot replace the freedom of running barefoot through the grass or riding bikes down country lanes.

Fresh Air children are registered by more than 90 participating social service and community organizations located in disadvantaged neighborhoods in the five boroughs of New York City. These community-based agencies are in close contact with children in need of summer experiences in rural and suburban areas. Each agency is responsible for registering children for the program.

Join The Fresh Air Fund-Racers on March 20th, 2011!

Help Fresh Air Fund to Support their efforts this year! This month and next month every 1% of profit from Sales of our product will go towards Funding Fresh Air Fund!!Help to make a Difference to these children.

When you walk into any health store of your local super mall, you will no longer be surprised to see many electronic devices which can help in personal health monitoring. Although these are inexpensive, they have a remarkable amount of technology packed into these tiny devices. Technologies like embedded microprocessor and artificial intelligent health systems.

Some of the devices which can help you in monitoring your heart health are:

Pedometers

These are tiny devices which you can attach to your waist or carry around in your pocket. The main principle of these devices is that the pedometer measures the distance walked, by using the technology (motion of your waist rising and falling while you walk).
Some of the parameters to be looked into while choosing a pedometer are step counting, distance, stopwatch, clock, calories, total calories, and multi-day memory.

Heart Rate Monitors

The current generation of these monitors are in form of wrist watch, and they have many features that have been on digital watch. Some of them have a chest strap, that does the actual recording and measurement of heart rate.

Portable ECG/EKG Monitor

These are small Ultra light Portable Handheld ECG device which is like a smart phone, They can monitor heart rhythms at home or in a clinic and can be used as a screening tool. This new generation of Handheld ECG machines, are devices with which you can record your heart’s electrical activity in just 25 seconds, view the key parameters on the LCD screen, and later print the trends in heart activity to help your physician detect Cardiovascular Diseases.

How to prevent complication of Stroke?

By Team Cardioventis | Published July 3rd, 2010
(0)

What is Atrial Fibrillation?

The heart consists of four chambers.The upper chambers are called atria-also known as right and left atria and the lower chambers are called as right and left ventricles.The pumping actions of the heart is regulated by electrical currents that has origin in the right atrium at the sinoatrial node (SA Node) the primary pacemaker of the heart.These impulses then travels to both the chambers and also to another pacemaker-atrioventricular node,which subsequently transmittes the impulses to the ventricles,resulting in co-ordinated pumping action of the heart.

The pumping action of the heart results in distribution of oxygen rich blood from the lungs to rest of the body.The sequential pumping of the heart is known as normal sinus rhythm.
When there is irregularities in the pumping of the heart mainly in rapid and irregular beating of the heart’s atrial chambers,these results in atrial fibrillation,these can up the heart rate from normal of 60-100 beats per minute to well over 300-400 times per minute.

Only a small number of these electrical impulses are picked up by the ventricles, but the ventricular rate can approach 180 or higher. Whether at high or low heart rates, the irregular rhythm renders the ventricle unable to pump efficiently. This leads to pooling of the blood within the heart and insufficient amounts of blood being supplied to the body. This can result in a variety of symptoms and problems.
It has been estimated that atrial fibrillation occurs in about 4% of the general adult population and affects approximately 2.2 million people in the United States. About 160,000 new cases of atrial fibrillation are diagnosed each year. Atrial fibrillation occurs about 1.5 times more frequently in males than in females. It is estimated that atrial fibrillation is responsible for over 60,000 strokes each year in the United States.

Some of the reasons for Atrial Fibrillation

1.Cardiovascular disturbances like congestive heart failure
2.Hypertension
3.Ischaemic Diseases of the heart
4.Damages to the heart valves.
5.Congential heart defects
6.Thyroid diseases.
7.Kung infections.
8.Alcohol abuse
9.Excessive consumption of caffeine
10.Drug Abuse.

Risk of Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation

Previously thought to be an insignificant arrhythmia, the potential complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) have just been recognized in the past few years. The irregular beating of the atrial chambers that is characteristic of atrial fibrillation results in stagnation and pooling of blood in the heart that can lead to blood clot formation, particularly in the left atrium. These blood clots can travel via the circulatory system and lodge in the brain, thereby, cutting-off the blood supply to a region of the brain (stroke). In fact, stroke represents the most common devastating consequence of atrial fibrillation.

Management of Atrial Fibrillation

Talk to your physicians about the risk for Atrial fibrillation
Take diagnostic investigation like Electrocardiogram regularly if you are at a higher risk for developing Atrial fibrillation.
Today,you can obtain your heart rhythm evaluation at the comfort of your home using portable ECG/EKG device.These device use “Artificial Intelligence Technologies” which help in rapid diagnoses of any abnormal heart rhythms.

Taking care of your heart is your responsibility and Smart ONE ECG can be your key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
