A member asked:

Is there a home-use device that can test hardening of blood vessels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood vessel stiff: Hello. Actually there's no device that can do that. You can have an estimated level of stiffness by measuring your blood pressure with a regular blood pressure cuff. If the blood pressure is elevated you may have your blood vessels stiffness. However you could consult an internal medicine doctor to check if you have a disease that could be causing that stiffness. Have a great day.
