Results also show a clinically relevant increase in large artery compliance, an indicator of greater vascular flexibility and volume capacity, using a traditional measurement of the ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure.

Impressive.

Seems to me a partnership between Alteon and Hypertension Diagnostics (HDII) is a no-brainer. HDII recently won FDA approval for their 'Profilor', a device which provides precise and reliable data for CV integrity. In other words, it measures DIRECTLY arterial flexibility etc. rather than indirectly deducing vascular health from the 'ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure'

The kicker is that HDII's device involves a 30 second test (in an office setting) because it is non-invasive.

A before and after ALT-711 treatment report using HDII's Profilor would likely be a boon to both companies.
