What is VENDYS?
VENDYS measures the blood flow throughout your cardiovascular system, by examining the function of the endothelial cells of the blood vessels. The VENDYS test is a simple, non-invasive, office-based procedure, the entire test takes just 15 minutes.
This data is typically used, along with other health information, by a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular health and is very important for diabetics.
Most commonly, this includes physicians in the following areas of specialization:
- Cardiology
- Internal Medicine
- Eye Health
- Primary Care
- Wellness and Prevention
- Anti-Aging
Why Get Tested?
Because prevention is the best treatment!
Cardiovascular disease develops over many years. Initially it is a silent process, also called a subclinical disease.
VENDYS testing provides your doctor with a quick and easy way of determining your vascular dilative capacity whether you are heading down a road towards future heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases and is specifically vital for diabetics.
What is Endothelial Dysfunction?
Endothelial dysfunction is considered to be the earliest clinically detectable stage of subclinical cardiovascular disease and can impact multiple organs in the body.
What are the Treatments?
Your doctor will evaluate the overall state of your health and discuss with you the most appropriate treatment options to improve your endothelial function.
These will usually include lifestyle modification measures (e.g. diet, food supplements, exercise), strict control of risk factors (e.g. quitting smoking), and/or drug treatment.
In some cases you will need to undergo more frequent monitoring and/or further testing of the cardiovascular system.
Remember – prevention is the best treatment!
