Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention
A Higher Standard for Your Arteries
This page is for adults who want to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
We offer heart attack and stroke prevention by telehealth across Washington and Idaho. Our clinic is in Spokane.
Heart disease is the top cause of death and disability in the United States. Standard prevention often falls short. Many people who have a heart attack or stroke were told their risk was low. That was based on standard cholesterol tests alone. Often, the event is the first sign of a disease that grew for years. We think you deserve a more careful and personal plan.
Trained in the BaleDoneen Method
Our clinicians have advanced training in the BaleDoneen Method. This approach is backed by research and reviewed by other scientists. It has been shown to prevent, stabilize, and even reverse heart disease. It goes beyond managing risk factors. It finds and treats the root causes of artery disease. We focus on "arteriology," the study of your 30,000 miles of arteries. This helps us find hidden risks. It also helps us calm the inflammation that drives heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes.
The Hidden Danger: Inflammation and Plaque
Inflammation is the real cause of most heart events. Plaque in the arteries alone does not cause them. Inflammation makes plaque break open and form a dangerous clot. This is why people with "normal" cholesterol still have heart attacks. They have inflammation that no one found.
Our goal is to answer one key question. Do you have plaque in your arteries, and is it inflamed?
We Do Not Guess. We Test.
We use the BaleDoneen Method to answer that question. It includes:
- Advanced lab testing. We go beyond standard cholesterol panels. Our blood tests look for early signs of inflammation and genetic risks. They also find other hidden causes of artery disease.
- CIMT imaging. This is a painless ultrasound of the neck arteries. It lets us see and measure your artery health. It finds plaque long before it becomes life-threatening.
- Finding root causes. We look for and treat the sources of inflammation. These can include insulin resistance, when your body stops responding well to insulin. They can include sleep apnea, when breathing stops during sleep. They can also include high-risk mouth bacteria and certain genes.
- Personal goals. We do not treat to "average" or "normal" ranges. We set the best goals for you. They are based on your genes, labs, and artery health.
