AT A GLANCE
Most understand the life-threatening risks posed when our cardiovascular system is performing poorly. Too few understand the rewards of a cardiovascular (CV) system that is performing at a high level. Fewer still have experienced these rewards for themselves. This Lab lays the foundation for you to begin to understand and improve your CV performance in new ways that are critical to both your short-term vitality and long-term health outcomes and well-being.
Our hearts are the primary metronome of our body-mind and in many ways, our life. They generate our largest, most powerful, and important bioenergetic waves. Waves that circulate blood, essential nutrients, and information (signalling molecules) throughout our body-mind, while whisking away toxins and waste products that lead to damage if they accumulate. Further, the rate and rhythm of our heart beats and respirations influence our neural networks, autonomic and central nervous systems, cognitive functions, and mood.
A high performing heart and CV system is something that must be felt to fully appreciate. It is not something a stat sheet shared at a medical evaluation can convey, although positive feedback on assessment is always welcomed and appreciated. The problem is that few have thorough enough and regular enough evaluations to have the opportunity to understand how to promote better CV function- proactively.
As you will better understand on review of this Lab, there are important biomarkers of CV performance that are rarely assessed in medical offices and are even overlooked at many high-end sports medicine and performance centers. Further, none have had the assessment, analytic and reporting systems and technology required to ensure clients understand and are able to trend key biomarkers conveniently and at low cost. V-Metrics changes this for you.

HEALTH SCENE INVESTIGATION
Will the ability to quantitatively measure and trend biomarkers of your CV performance, combined with ready access to new, deeper insights, lead you to:
- New life habits which improve your CV function and the way you look and feel?
- Lower your risk to heart disease and preventable chronic illness?
HYPOTHESIS
We cannot improve on what we do not know. We cannot know what we do not measure. To understand what we measure more effectively, we are best to trend it over time.
Most CV disease is preventable and understanding this Lab and engaging this Index may well be the key step in ensuring you learn how to prevent it. Gamifying improvements in CV function and providing the practical know how for you to do so, will ensure you pay more attention to this crucial area.
