Is heart disease reversible? Is it preventable?
Yes to both questions. A study of heart disease around the globe revealed that the same factors were responsible for heart disease in all countries, in both sexes, and at all ages. These factors accounted for more than 95% of heart disease. Thus heart disease is not inevitable. It is preventable by changing those risk factors. In people with pre-existing heart disease, addressing those same factors may eliminate symptoms and allow medications to be reduced. We also work with other therapies to reverse cardiac symptoms, including enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), chelation therapy, Plaquex therapy, and Natrecor.
