Advanced Arterial Assessment in Scottsdale, AZ
Go Beyond Blood Pressure with Deeper Cardiovascular Insight
Reveal the unseen stress on your heart. The Arterial Assessment shows how your arteries are aging compared to what is expected for your stage of life. It provides a clearer picture of cardiovascular strain and long-term risk than any standard blood pressure cuff.
Longevity Starts in Your Arteries
Longevity is more than body composition or performance. It also depends on the health of your arteries and the workload placed on your heart with every beat. The Arterial Assessment reveals this critical benchmark, complementing DEXA and VO₂ max testing to give you a complete picture of your long-term health.
The Gold Standard in Arterial Health Assessment
For unmatched insight into cardiovascular wellness, the Arterial Assessment uses the SphygmoCor® system, the same technology trusted by leading cardiology centers and research institutions worldwide. Unlike a standard arm cuff, it measures central pressures, arterial stiffness, and heart workload to provide data you can rely on for long-term health.
What Your Arterial Assessment Reveals
Central Blood Pressure: central systolic pressure and central pulse pressure, the true pressures your heart and brain experience
Arterial Stiffness: augmentation index and augmentation pressure, showing how rigid arteries add strain to the heart
Arterial Efficiency: pulse pressure amplification, revealing how well your arteries cushion each heartbeat
Heart Workload Balance: subendocardial viability ratio, indicating if blood flow meets the heart’s oxygen needs
Overall Risk Benchmark: a clear Low, Intermediate, or High zone classification
Take Charge of Your Heart Health with Confidence
Understanding cardiovascular risk can feel uncertain, but the Arterial Assessment delivers clear insights into how your arteries are aging. Whether you are optimizing performance, monitoring blood pressure, or focusing on long-term wellness, we give you the knowledge to protect your heart with confidence.

The Leading Choice for Reliable Arterial Assessments
“It is possible to measure the blood pressure centrally in the aorta just as it comes out of the heart. This is a more accurate blood pressure reading than the one that we take in the arm. The SphgymoCor machine also measures the stiffness or elasticity of the aorta to predict the augmentation index. Hypertension causes arteries to stiffen, making pressure waves bounce back to the heart, which increases systolic blood pressure and the risk for stroke, heart failure, and heart disease.“

FAQs
-
A standard cuff only gives you a snapshot. The Arterial Assessment looks deeper, measuring central blood pressure and arterial function to reveal how well your arteries are supporting long-term heart, brain, and whole-body health. It delivers insights that connect directly to performance, prevention, and longevity.
-
The Arterial Assessment reveals how well your arteries are supporting long-term heart and brain health. You’ll gain insight into central pressures, arterial stiffness, arterial efficiency, and heart workload balance, all summarized in a clear risk benchmark. These insights help you track progress over time and take proactive steps to extend your healthspan.
-
Tests like coronary calcium scoring, carotid ultrasound, or CT angiography provide valuable information but are costly, involve radiation or imaging, and are usually ordered once risk is already high. The Arterial Assessment is quick, non-invasive, and radiation-free. It measures central pressures and arterial stiffness at an earlier stage, giving you actionable insight into cardiovascular health before structural disease develops.
-
The Arterial Assessment is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive. There are no needles, no prep, and no downtime. In just a few minutes, the system captures how your arteries are performing, and you’ll walk away with immediate results you can use to guide your long-term health strategy.
-
Most people benefit from testing every 3 to 6 months while making changes to training, nutrition, or medication, since this allows enough time to see meaningful improvements. Once results are stable, many shift to once or twice a year to stay on top of long-term cardiovascular health and longevity goals.
-
Anyone who wants to protect their heart, optimize performance, or extend their healthspan will benefit. It is especially powerful for those managing blood pressure, training for peak fitness, or taking a proactive approach to longevity. Whether you are an athlete, a professional focused on resilience, or simply someone who wants to stay ahead of cardiovascular risk, the Arterial Assessment gives you insights no arm cuff can provide.
