Area of Professional Focus:
My clinical expertise focuses around advanced cardiovascular risk assessment and aggressive preventative treatment for atherosclerosis, encompassing myocardial infarction prevention and ischemic stroke prevention and diabetes prevention in the primary and secondary population. My risk assessment includes, but is not limited to: Lipid testing, inflammatory marker identification, subparticle measurements, nutrigenomics, genetic risk identification, IMT (Intima Media Thickness Testing), ABI, AAA screening, and Coronary CT for structural assessment, along with identification and treatment of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. I take a focused interest in coronary heart disease and women. I am committed to educating the public about heart attack prevention and share my knowledge with other providers to make an international impact on changing the paradigm of treatment to a model of evidenced-based/outcome-based prevention.
