Summary of microcirculation, glycocalyx and functional implications is the seventh module of the GlycoCheck Training for healthcare professionals.
After watching this video, test your knowledge with these self-assessment questions:
Q1: What percentage of the vascular wall surface area is located in the microvascular compartment?
Q2: What is the dimension the endothelial glycocalyx that is situated between the endothelial surface and the outer edge of the red blood cell column in capillary blood vessels?
Q3: What percentage of glycocalyx volume is occupied by the solid polysaccharide structures?
Q4: What happens to plasma glycosaminoglycan concentration when glycocalyx is damaged?
GlycoCheck is the only system that allows researchers to unravel the mysteries of microcirculation and how its breakdown contributes to the development of various diseases. GlycoCheck is a non-invasive sublingual (under-the-tongue) test that measures red cell velocity in the smallest capillaries, determines the flow dependency of capillary density and glycocalyx properties, and calculates an overall Microvascular Health Score based on 100 million measurements of red cell column width in 100,000 vessels segments.
GlycoCheck is patented in the United States, Canada, Europe, China, and Japan. It is an FDA Registered Class 1 Medical Device that measures and analyzes the endothelial glycocalyx.
