Cardiovascular disease

is the #1 killer in the U.S.

for both men and women !

70% of heart attacks and strokes are caused by one disease . . . atherosclerosis which is nearly 100% preventable.

Atherosclerosis is responsible for >38% Of the deaths in women and nearly 1/3 of the deaths in men each year.

50% of men & 64% of women who Die suddenly of coronary heart disease HAVE NO PRIOR SYMPTOMS.

The largest gap in US healthcare today Relates to the gross under-diagnosis Of those at risk for cardiovascular disease e.g. Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease can be detected with one simple non-invasive test called

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT)

One Test That Saves Patient Lives !

In a 10-year/100,000 person-year study, Imt testing caught 98.6% Of the heart attacks or strokes before they occurred
Over 14,000 peer-reviewed Journal articles Validate the efficacy of CIMT
CIMT is more accurate and a better predictor Of future events than are the carotid duplex and Other commonly used and more expensive tests like Stress echo, angiogram, and nuclear stress tests

Measuring CIMT by Ultrasound

The Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT)test is different than Carotid ultrasound tests completed at hospitals and by outfits like Lifeline screening (carotid doppler or duplex). Those tests look for clogged arteries. They report only individuals with blockages exceeding 50%.

Unfortunately, 68% of heart attacks and strokes occur in people who had less than 50% blockage up until a few minutes before their heart attack and stroke. CIMT identifies those with blockage, but also Individuals with mild inflammation (a pre-curser to atherosclerotic plaque)

CIMT is more accurate and a better predictor Of future events than are the carotid duplex and Other commonly used and more expensive tests like Stress echo, angiogram, and nuclear stress tests
