Hypertension
NICaS enables the treating physicians to isolate the exact cause of hypertension, based on each patient’s objective hemodynamic parameters. These parameters allow the physician a deeper understanding of the total dynamics responsible for each patient’s hypertension.
Challenges
Only 1 in 4 adults (24%) with hypertension have their condition under control.
Current statistically based protocols are only partially successful in controlling hypertension (54%).
Very difficult to determine the underlying cause of HTN without a complete hemodynamic profile of the patient.
Solutions
Recent studies and customer experience show an improvement in hypertension control to above 90%.
Personalized treatment according to individual hemodynamic profiles.
Physicians can be more effective in prescribing the proper medication for hypertension.
Hypertension In Numbers:
130M – There are approximately 130 million hypertension patients in the U.S.
157M – 157 million physician office visits due to hypertension in 2014
$131B – High blood pressure costs the U.S. approximately $131 billion each year.
