VALSALVA TEST via LifePulsePro diagnostic system

Life Pulse Pro module. The Valsalva pulse test is a medical diagnostic test that is used to evaluate the function of the autonomic nervous system and to diagnose certain medical conditions. During the Valsalva pulse test, the patient is typically asked to take a deep breath, hold it, and then forcibly exhale while closing the mouth and nose within 15 seconds. This creates a transient increase in intrathoracic pressure, which can affect the heart and blood vessels, causing changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and heart sounds.
Normally, during the strain phase of the Valsalva test, there is an initial increase in heart rate and blood pressure, followed by a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure during the release phase.
The Valsalva pulse test evaluates the heart rate response during the release phase. If the heart rate does not decrease appropriately during the release phase, this may indicate autonomic dysfunction or other medical conditions that affect the cardiovascular system.
