Finger blood pressure measurement for early detection of cardiovascular disease

A recent study from the United States said that blood can be tested from the fingertips to detect cardiovascular disease early.

In a study by the Heart Institute of America, a blood test from the fingertips can detect early symptoms of heart disease. This method is also known as the method of measuring arterial hypertension, the principle of this method is to monitor blood flow when flowing through the fingertip.

After 5 minutes of removing the syrup to allow blood to flow back into the blood vessels of the finger, this can measure the reverse flow of blood into the bloodstream quickly or slowly.

Research shows that healthy people recover from their fingers very quickly, and for people with cardiovascular disease, recovery is very slow.

Researchers say that beside the coronary artery there is a type of peripheral skin in the skin, the function of the inner skin is to protect the walls of blood vessels to avoid injury, maintain blood pressure and normal flow.

Through internal skin examination, early symptoms of cardiovascular disease can be detected as well as arteriosclerosis. The method of finger tip testing is through a blood-flow reaction to check for problems that may exist in the inner skin function.

According to the researchers, this method will support the early detection of cardiovascular disease, but more data is needed when conducting the measurement.
