Why perform ANS with the IntelleWave compared to other ANS systems?
* Lower acquisition cost and no expensive yearly licensing fees.
* Automatic Interpretation Software: IntelleWave is the ONLY ANS device approved by the FDA for automatic HRV analysis and does not require manual data preparation.
* No specialized technician is required for this 15-minute test.
* The “5-minutes approach” for HRV measurement as a method of data selection is outdated. The “definite number of R-R intervals” used by the IntelleWave as the data selection method has proven more consistent for any HRV statisical analysis.
* The IntelleWave automatically detects ectopic beats and artifacts to provide high quality HRV analysis.
* The IntelleWave uses the most effective Method of Spectral analysis of RRintervals variability.
* The IntelleWave uses a proprietary algorithm for sophisticated graphical clusterization of the relationship between High-Frequency (HF) and Low-Frequency (LF) components of HRV.
* Besides the remarkable differences between IntelleWave and others outlined above, it is important to point out how IntelleWave is superior in gathering information on the following indices:
1. 30/15 ratio (after orthostatic intervention)
IntelleWave calculates the 2nd phase as a ratio of HR (min)/HR (max) or RR (max)/RR (min), instead of calculating 30/15 Ratio exactly as HR on beat 30 over HR on beat 15.
2. Valsalva Ratio (after Valsalva maneuver)
In about 25-35% of cases, patients demonstrate an opposite response to the Valsalva maneuver: at the beginning, the heart rate slows down and later increases. In such cases the correct calculation will be HR (max)/HR(min1), and the wrong calculation-HR (max)/HR (min2). Only IntelleWave allows this calculation.
3. E/I Ratio (after Deep breathing)
Only Intellewave provides automatic and more precise detection of interference and ectopic beats. |
