Pasesa AVE-2000 Pro - Vascular Index and Pulse Rate Analysis; Pulse Rate and AVI;API Interpretation

- 26 -
Pulse Rate
Pulse rate is subject to the effect of many factors, such as age and gender.
Exercise and emotional stress can elevate pulse rate, while rest and sleep can drop the pulse rate
down.
Normal range of pulse rate for healthy adults under normal resting conditions: 60 to 100 beats/ minutes.
AVI & API
AVI & API are subject to the effect of age, gender, cholesterol level, blood pressure as the well as the
history of diabetes, smoking and exercise, etc. AVI may be reduced through regular exercise.
The usefulness of AVI and API have been proved by a number of clinical studies:

Fig. 7.1 Correlations between AVI, API and Age
AVI and API both increase with age. For a subject with a higher measurement of AVI or API, her/his risk
of cardiovascular disease may be higher.
