Unlocking advanced heart health insights for everyone

CONNEQT Pulse goes beyond blood pressure, putting clinical-grade arterial health insights in your hands

Powered by Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA), CONNEQT Pulse deciphers the hidden signals in each heartbeat to generate vascular biomarkers that go beyond traditional blood pressure, making clinical-grade arterial health insights accessible for everyday use.

Not all blood pressure readings are created equally

Traditional blood pressure cuffs give you a single pressure reading, but they miss the full picture of how your arteries are functioning. CONNEQT Pulse goes deeper by analyzing arterial waveforms to assess your vascular health in real-time.

How flexible or stiff your arteries are
(a key factor in cardiovascular risk)

How well your arteries respond to each heartbeat
(vascular compliance)

Early warning signs of hypertension, arterial aging, and cardiovascular disease

By understanding these patterns, you gain a proactive edge in optimizing your heart health.

Research-Backed Health Insights

Traditional blood pressure readings only tell part of the story. The Pulse arterial health monitor uses Pulse Wave Analysis (PWA) to measure key vascular biomarkers that predict cardiovascular (CV) risk before symptoms appear.

Results & Clinical Interpretation of CONNEQT Arterial Health Biomarkers

Measurement	Central Blood Pressure	Central Pulse Pressure	Pulse Pressure Amplification	Augmentation Pressure	Augmentation Index
Threshold	>130 mmHg	>50 mmHg	<130%	Each 10 mmHg increase in AP	Each 10 % increase in Alx
Risk of Cardiovascular Events	3x increased risk of cardiovascular events*	2-3x increased risk of cardiovascular events*	2-3x increased risk of cardiovascular events*>	30% Increase risk of cardiovascular events*	35-40% Increase risk of cardiovascular events*

*Cardiovascular events are defined as a myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, stroke, heart failure, or cardiovascular mortality.

A 4-mmHg reduction in central pressure can lower cardiovascular risk by 20%. Reductions in arterial stiffness have been shown with ACE-inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors.

By tracking these biomarkers, the Pulse helps detect hidden risks, optimize heart health, and empower better cardiovascular decisions.

Brachial Blood Pressure

What it Is
Brachial blood pressure is the pressure or force of blood on the brachial artery in the upper arm.

Why it Matters
High blood pressure can cause major cardiovascular disease if untreated or treated but poorly controlled.

Central Blood Pressure

What it Is
Pressure exerted by the heart - a valuable health insight not provided by traditional BP cuffs.

Why it Matters
Central blood pressure reflects key vascular issues such as arterial stiffness, which makes it a more accurate predictor of subclinical cardiovascular disease than traditional brachial blood pressure alone.

Subendocardial Viability Ratio(SEVR)

What it Is
The supply & demand of oxygenated blood to the myocardium.

Why it Matters
SEVR offers insight into how well a person’s heart can handle the stress of exercise.

Augmentation Pressure

What it Is
The increase in central aortic pressure caused by pressure wave reflection.

Why it Matters
A marker of arterial stiffness, elevated augmentation pressure is associated with cardiovascular risk factors as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Augmentation Index

What it Is
A % measurement of your heart’s workload due to arterial stiffness.

Why it Matters
Chronic stress on the heart and the cardiovascular system can lead to heart failure and hypertrophy (enlarged heart).

Central Pulse Pressure

What it Is
Pressure experienced by the major organs such as the brain, kidney, and liver.

Why it Matters
Central pulse pressure helps identify the risk of end organ damage to key organs like the brain, kidney and heart.

Medical Grade Heart Measurement

What it Is
The number of heart beats (or contractions) per minute measured on a beat-to-beat basis.

Why it Matters
Beat-to beat heart rate is a more accurate measurement of heart rate similar to measurements obtained by an electrocardiogram.

Central blood pressures have been shown to correlate more strongly with vascular disease than do routine peripheral blood pressure measurements.
