| Non-Invasive Autonomic Nervous System Monitoring |
| I want to share the information on this remarkable test because of a recent medical emergency and my personal experience with the test. My immediate diagnosis was pneumonia and I was immediated put on powerful antibotics and narcotic cough medication. I was given and EKG, chest xrays, and the ANSAR test. Which flagged other potential medical problems. (Possible heart attack, possible stroke, possible blocked carotid artery,possible diabetes, cholesterol problems) which he has been able to test. I was given two ultrasounds...one of the entire system and one of the carotid system. I was immediated put on trial meds to control some of those while further testing is ongoing. All testing and diagnosis work is not complete. I will wear a heart monitor on the 29th and have stress test on the 30th and then get the final reports. But I am doing very well, have a lot of people to thank and a lot who have spend many hours seeing that I get meds, groceries, and care. I thank them all especially my Doctor. ANSAR is a non-invasive autonomic nervous system monitoring system using heart rate variability and analyis of respiratory activity for: YOUR AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM Your autonomic nervous system is comprised of three parts: your somatic (or sensory)nervous system, your motoric nervoujs system, and your autonomic nervous system (ANS). Your ANS is that part of your nervous system which functions to sustain your life by helping to control your heart, lungs, digestive system, blood pressure, immune system, certain of your reflexes (like coughing and gagging) fluid balance, pupil diameter, sweating and sexual functions. YOUR ANS HAS TWO PARTS There are two parts, or branches to your ANS: the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch. Generally the sympathetic branch is more in control when you are stressed, nervous or excited, while the parasympathetic branch is more in control when you are relaxing, sleeping or recovering from and illness or injury. A balance between the two branches of your ANS is essential for good health. In fact, most illnesses and injuries cause or result from imbalance between these two branches. An imbalance in your ANS can tell your doctor many things about how healthy you are as well as what can be done to keep you as healthy as possible. WHAT IS ANS MONITORING Autonomic Nervous System Monitoring is a fast non-invasive and simple way to provide your doctor with information to help him or her determine how healthy you are. Monitoring your ANS, when measured frequently like your blood pressure heart rate can help your doctor keep you healthly. Information is collected from an easy, painless test that can be done in your doctor's office or in a hospital. (Mine was done in my Doctor's office but the test is not available yet in all Doctor's office) The ANS monitoring is non invasive. This means that there were no needles or probes or anything else that needs to enter your body. The test is completely painless, and for the most it is relaxing. ANS monitoring records your heart rate variability and respiratory activity. Blood pressure readings are also taken. These activities are analyzed by a computer to determine how your ANS is controlling your heart and your lungs and other parts of your body. Your physician then interprets your results produced by the computer. Heart rate variability (HVR) is a measure of your heart's ability to quickly respond to changes in your level of activity. Moderate variability is healthy. Too much or too little is unhealthy. ANS monitoring using HVR can provide your doctor with information that cannot be see using other measures, for example EKG monitoring. Analyzing your respiratory activity along with your HRV is key to monitoring the balance between the two branches of your autonomic nervous system. WHY IS ANS MONITORING IMPORTANT Everyone is different, and so is their autonomic nervous system. How an individual responds to disease, injuries, medicines and medical treatments largely depends on his or her ANS. Everyone from newborns to older adults can and should have their ANS monitored. Frequent monitoring when indicated, helps your doctor better maintain your health and well being and tailor treatments, including medications, specifically for you. ANSAR (and in my case probably saved my life) The ANS exam is a simple test that is performed in your Doctor's office or in a Hospital. You may or may not need to stop your medication before taking the test. Your doctor will tell you if you should.You can take the test even if you have an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. A nurse or technician applies two or three small, painless pads (called leads) to chest and places a blood pressure cuff on your left arm. The computer will measure your heart rate variablilty and respiratory activity. Most of the test is taken while you are seated comfortably in a chair. The entire test takes less than 30 minutes. The exam includes several parts. It monitors you while you are relaxed, while you are breathing deeply, while you are straining (this is called a valsalva maneuver) and while you are standing. A nurse or technician will guide you through the test. Your doctor may want to include a tilt-table test as part of your exam. For this portion of the test, you are asked to relax comfortable on your back, then examiner will tilt the table upwards as you you breathe normally. EKG and blood pressure monitors are connected to the computer. The computer analyzes the data from thses two monitors and computes the test results in digital fashion (that is, three numbers). These three numbers represent your entire autonomic nervous system. One number represents your entire autonomic nervous system, one number represents the sympathetic branch of your ANS, while the third number represents the parasympathetic branch of your ANS. How these numbers change during the different parts of the test and how they change over time as you grow and age provides your doctor with information he or she needs to keep you as healthy as possible. The computer will prepare a report for you doctor who will discuss the results with you. **Information from "The Ansar Group".
