ARMV RA

The meeting of the Regional Association of Vascular Medicine – Rhône-Alpes (Association Régionale de Médecine Vasculaire – Rhône-Alpes) on 8 February 2025 in Annecy, France, is dedicated to the progress and recommendations in daily vascular practice as well as the latest expert findings in this medical field.  

Here is how the MESI mTABLET system can contribute to your diagnostic process in vascular medicine: 

Vascular specialists receive a lot of patients from primary care as well as from fellow specialists like podiatrists. This results in numerous referrals for a Doppler exam without any previous arterial examination and consequently in a big workload. How can this be changed? 

Guidelines like the Scientific Statement of the American Heart Association on PAD urge that screening for conditions like Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) should take place more widely in risk groups. In this, the environment also plays an important role on PAD development – such as air pollution and exposure to certain metals such as lead and cadmium.  

Early detection of the Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) can make an important difference to the French population and healthcare as it is estimated that this serious condition affects over 2 million people in France. 

The MESI mTABLET enables easy, 1-minute measuring of the Ankle-Brachial Index and/or Toe-Brachial Index at primary care level as well as at vascular specialists. An advanced arterial age assessment with the Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) app can also be performed. All these measurements provide an informed insight into the patient’s arterial health status and the level of urgency, and provides the vascular specialist with useful data before performing a Doppler exam.
