  Research: MPress Pressure Analysis Software

MPress Pressure Analysis Software

Millar's MPress software provides a comprehensive analysis of single and dual pressure data. The easy-to-use program reads data files of text tab delimited format generated by ADInstruments PowerLab or other similar data acquisition systems. The data is presented in a clean, readable format complete with data analysis graphs, hemodynamics summary, and pressure vs. dP/dt loops. The results can be saved in text format for easy export to a spreadsheet or word processor software program.

Demo Version is Now Available.
Please login as a registered user to download the software.

Parameters calculated by MPress

MPress opens the text files generated by the data acquisition software and applies a variety of algorithms to the pressure data to calculate the following hemodynamic parameters:

MPress Main Menu

MPress contains an intuitive user menu that offers easy access to a variety of displays and calculation tables for several cardiovascular parameters.

 

Integration with ADI Chart

MPress allows seamless integrated access from ADInstruments Chart. Data can be recorded through Chart 5.4.2 and imported into MPress by clicking the 'M' Heart icon in the Chart toolbar. Below is a screen snapshot of the waveform display.

 

Hemodynamics Summary

The hemodynamics summary for ventricular pressure is displayed below. These parameters are calculated for each cycle. A linear regression can be performed using any two parameters.

 

Pressure vs. dP/dt Loop

MPress had the ability to display pressure vs. dP/dt loops as shown in the snapshot below.



Data Export

Data may be easily exported to spreadsheets or text files, and graphical information can be placed into presentations or papers for publication.
