Have you ever wondered what caused a heart attack or stroke in yourself or a loved one? Have you wondered if that event could have been prevented if you or they had been given the right tools and treatment?
At the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center of Central Ohio, we believe that true health care should prevent illness and reverse disease, not simply treat symptoms. While conventional medicine often waits until a problem becomes serious to intervene, our office practices preventive care and uses the science-backed BaleDoneen Method to find and treat the root causes of arterial inflammation, helping you avoid heart attacks and strokes before they happen.
Preventive Care Matters
Preventive care is essential to a healthy future, particularly for those at risk of cardiovascular disease. Led by board certified cardiologist Dr. Eric Goulder, our team takes a proactive approach in examining the deeper factors behind arterial inflammation and disease progression. By identifying early warning signs that are invisible to the naked eye and might not yet cause noticeable symptoms, we can work together to create a targeted treatment plan that prevents disease rather than reacts to it. This proactive approach can help you enjoy a future where your health span matches your lifespan, allowing you to stay healthy and active well into your retirement years.
The BaleDoneen Method: Going Beyond Traditional Care
Our practice uses the BaleDoneen Method, a comprehensive approach that zeroes in on inflammation—the root cause of arterial disease. This science-based method is proven to help prevent and even reverse heart attacks, strokes, and related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, kidney disease, and more. As a result, we can confidently guarantee that under our care, you will not experience a heart attack or stroke.
One of the core tools in this approach is the Root Cause Tree, a visual framework that helps us map out all of the root causes of inflammation. The tree highlights how factors such as lifestyle choices, genetics, oral infections, and metabolic issues can all fuel inflammation, which, in turn, drives cardiovascular disease, dementia, and other systemic inflammatory diseases. By addressing these underlying causes, we aim for long-term health rather than temporary fixes.
Tests to Uncover Hidden Inflammation
Using advanced testing, we uncover inflammation and other risk factors that might be silently threatening your heart health. By identifying signs of disease before symptoms appear, we can detect and address potential issues early, reducing the risk of a cardiac event. Unlike standard care, which often focuses on risk factors, our preventive approach enables us to slow, halt, or even reverse the progression of disease—well before you experience symptoms or face a life-altering event.
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Test (CIMT): This non-invasive ultrasound measures the thickness of the carotid artery walls, which can reveal early signs of arterial plaque and inflammation. Detecting these changes early helps us assess your cardiovascular risk and tailor treatments to reduce it.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test: This test assesses how your body processes glucose, helping to identify insulin resistance or prediabetes, both of which contribute to inflammation and arterial disease. Managing glucose levels effectively can significantly lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and other metabolic conditions.
Inflammation Testing: We offer advanced testing that includes simple blood and urine biomarkers to gauge inflammation levels across a risk spectrum. This testing reveals crucial information about your inflammatory status, guiding us in crafting a personalized health care plan to reduce cardiovascular risk and support ongoing prevention.
Genetic Testing: This cutting-edge panel examines genetic markers to determine if you have the "heart attack gene," are predisposed to other chronic inflammatory diseases, and even how your body responds to different diets, including the keto diet. For some, the keto diet may be beneficial, while for others, it could increase cardiovascular risk. With this information, we can provide personalized dietary guidance to support your heart health and overall well-being.
