Practitioners and patients agree: the Heart Sound Recorder significantly improves health care.
The number one killer of Americans is heart disease. The heart is the most important organ requiring nutrition. If there is a nutritional deficiency in the heart, there are likely other organs suffering nutritional deficiency as well. But the heart must feed first and we have a testing device to understand if it is missing key nutrients.
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) is a computer based, low risk general wellness monitor which uses the principles of auscultation to observe heart sounds.
The heart’s reaction to certain stressors (i.e. chemical, nutritional and emotional) can be observed using this type of device.
Certain types of heart stress can be monitored by seeing the RATE, RHYTHM and TONE of the heart cycle on the graph.
- Your nervous system controls the RATE at which your heart beats. One side of your nervous system (sympathetic) manages your “fight or flight” response and can accelerate your heart rate. The other side (parasympathetic) manages your “rest and digest” response and can slow your heart rate. You need a healthy balance between the two.
- The RHYTHM of your heart should show a specific work to rest ratio on the graph. Your heart should be resting twice as long as it is working. Observations are made to see if your heart is working too hard, or not hard enough.
- The TONE of your heart is referring to the strength of the ventricles as they push blood through the body. The height and the width of the ‘lub dub’ sound your heart makes on the graph, shows how efficiently your heart is pushing blood through your body and refilling to prepare for the next cardiac cycle.
How Does the Heart Sound Recorder Work?
By means of a uniquely designed sensor, which has been virtually unduplicated by any other technology, practitioners can use the HSR to listen and observe functionality, in turn, revealing a great deal about nutritional status. From that information the practitioner might make nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle recommendations to restore balance.
The HSR is a simple, highly effective, and non-invasive device. The sensor is placed over the four valve areas of the heart. Once the test is complete, we can see the nutritional efficiency of the heart and systemic circulatory system. Every test can be saved and compared to track progress of a tailored nutritional program that supports the improvement of the heart’s function.
