Cardiovascular disease, heart disease, is a disease of the heart (cardio) and blood vessels (vascular) most often caused by a narrowing inside the lining of blood vessels due to deposits of plaque or fatty substances on the artery wall. Heart disease is still the leading cause of disability and death in the United States.
The NIHA Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction program includes: state-of-the-art cardiovascular screening, a comprehensive patient education program, assessment, nutrition, detoxification, psychological support, and an individualized integrative treatment plan including, but not limited to, chelation therapy*, supplementation, and other beneficial treatments based on the patient's risk factors and needs.
NIHA also works in collaboration with the patient’s primary care physician and/or cardiologist to keep them informed of the patient’s progress and to refer the patient for additional medical tests and assessments.
