Heart Assessments To Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease

Heart assessments that bridge the gap in our healthcare system. Going to your family doctor is a start, but unfortunately, they lack essential tools to determine heart attack and stroke risk.

Cardiologists are great, but they are only looking for advanced stages of heart disease.

The Heart Fit Clinic bridges this important gap, helping you prevent and reverse heart disease. If you have heart disease, then we would love to treat this and keep track of your disease progress.

Getting angiograms is invasive and should only be done when you have an emergency. Stress tests are only looking for advanced stages of disease.

Let us look at the heart and artery like a muscle, as it is not a plumbing problem.

Key Inflammatory Markers

Measure pulse wave analysis and artery stiffness. We also look at the blood pressure at the level of the heart (central blood pressure). Learn more.

Key Inflammatory Markers

83% of heart attacks and strokes occur with people with normal cholesterol. Many people think cholesterols accumulates to the artery wall. So if you have normal cholesterol, you are all good (not true). And if you have high cholesterol, you are all good because you are taking a cholesterol lowering drug (not true).

Size matters. Cholesterol comes in different sizes. The artery is

protected by the endothelium. You can be told you have normal cholesterol yet you have a lot more smaller ones therefore more dangerous and can easily get inside the endothelium.

OR you can be told you have high cholesterol with larger particles which would not get through the endothelium.

Do you have high cholesterol or are you taking a statin?

Infection & Immune Response

Imagine a cholesterol like a sliver. And we now know that the inner lining of the artery wall is all skin called the endothelium. If a sliver, slivers into the lining of the skin and you are not able to get it out with tweezers, this triggers an infection and immune response.

The same thing happens inside the artery wall and this is the phase where we can see where your risk is of a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years. Giving us time to make the necessary changes to reverse this process.

Key Inflammatory Markers

Inside the artery wall is all skin, it is called the endothelium and we look at your inflammatory markers to determine what is injuring this artery wall (endothelium).
