  • determine cause of high blood pressure in order to target, optimise, and validate medications
  • define most effective antihypertensive drug combination (Beta-blocker, ACE inhibitor, Diuretic and others)
  • balance systemic vascular resistance, cardiac output and fluid level (TFC)
  • measure aortic pulse wave velocity to evaluate arterial stiffness as an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and to monitor drugs that can improve it
 

 

   
"
non-invasive hemodynamic management achieved superior BP levels and control rates, when compared to management by experienced hypertension clinicians. Our results suggest that sequential non-invasive hemodynamics provide effective guidance in drug selection and titration in treatment of resistant hypertensives"
