I still advocate traditional testing and treatment including calcium scores, nuclear stress testing, echocardiography, doppler, 24-hour Holter monitoring, event recorder’s cardiac catheterization and even sometimes coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement. I feel there is still a need for noninvasive and invasive testing, but the difference is that my treatments are now personalized and based on the genes of each patient. They are also based on the patient’s toxicity, infections, nutrient levels, and the amount of inflammation and free radicals are oxidative stress. Also important are degrees of methylation and homocysteine, cholesterol, coagulation, nitric oxide and hormone status.

With the new science of genomic testing I am now able to evaluate your genes which are your book a life. I am now able to look at the genes from both your mother and your father and developed a personalized program for your angina, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. I do extensive testing to get to the root cause of your disease. The infections need to be controlled, the heavy metals need to be lower and the inflammation and free radicals need to be extinguished. Nutrient levels need to be replaced and amino acid deficiency are corrected. The use of magnetic therapy with PEMF as well as stem cells and exosomes are times utilized. IV nutritional therapy is very important, and this includes ozone therapy, glutathione, poly-MVA and many others.

As a cardiologist I feel I have the unique opportunity to help many people. I have learned this over the years from treating myself. I am still a very traditional cardiologist but having been sick with a heart attack 20 years ago I feel that the integration of these other therapies is very important for myself as well as my patients. Testing is the key and an integrative approach is the answer.
