The Brachial Artery is the Artery closest to the surface of the skin where a non invasive device can regularly be used providing relatively constant results by measuring pressure. Hence the Upper Arm is the most frequently used location for taking BP.
The Heart Sentry measures BP, Pulse and Endothelium all in one. Taking that into account there is a foreseeable time when the HS will replace the present day equipment and devices such as a BP Cuff, Ultra Sound and possibly Blood Tests which amongst other things determine a persons Cholesterol levels which causes a narrowing of the Arteries and increases Blood Pressure leading to a Heart Attack or Stroke..

What has never been disclosed is that most Strokes and Heart Attacks can be avoided purely by a person changing their life Style. Not having a good balanced Diet, Exercising and refraining from Smoking are the top causes, however everyday Stress is also a major factor.
Looking at it overall the HS is a great invention, And will do the job it is designed to do... SAVE LIVES.
But I see a problem! Those who can't afford Health Care and the Needy will stay in the high risk category! Leaving diagnosis to the ER when a casualty is admitted, and their survival chances are reduced ?
Therefore because the Golden Hour is so important to survival the HS should be a standard PRIORITY issue to all ALS and BLS and Rescue Services, Even before being in everyday use at the Doctors office.
