In the US, Heart Attacks and Strokes remain the number one cause for death + disability affecting some 1.5 million Americans each year.

Why we use the BaleDoneen Method.

The BaleDoneen Method is a science-based methodology that is medically proven and accepted to both prevent and reverse heart attacks, strokes, and many other chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, kidney disease, and erectile dysfunction to name a few.

Expert Cardiovascular Care and Heart Attack Prevention

The cure for arterial disease...

The BaleDoneen Method is focused on the specialty of arteriology. It uses advanced laboratory and imaging tests and a comprehensive, individualized assessment to check each patient for hidden signs of arterial disease or red flags signaling increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). The goal of the BaleDoneen Method is to find out if patients have arterial inflammation and if so, apply individualized treatment to extinguish inflammation to halt its progression with genetically guided, evidence-based therapies.  Our method is based on six dynamic elements, each of which is crucial for detecting and defeating cardiovascular disease. 

Education

Understanding what causes heart attacks and strokes, plus the action steps needed to prevent these catastrophic events, empowers the patients to make choice that lead to recovery and wellness.

Disease

Identifying which patients have disease (plaque) in the arteries is essential since this is a prerequisite for an event. Treatment decisions should be based on this infuriation and disease monitored over time.

Fire

Events are sparked when disease becomes inflamed. Think of plaque as kindling. Inflammation lights the match, causing the plaque to rupture explosively. We use a “fire panel” of tests to detect and monitor inflammation.

Root

To put out the fire in a patient’s arteries, it’s essential to identify and treat the cause. Without this knowledge, the disease frequently smolders until there is another event. Using techniques perfected by the BaleDoneen Method, we can determine the root causes and halt the disease.

Optimal

Setting optimal, individualized goals for modifying each patient’s risk factors leads to superior outcomes and more effective heart attack and stroke prevention.

Genes

Basing care on each patient’s unique genetic makeup is the ultimate in precision medicine. The BaleDoneen Method has used genetic testing for more than a decade and remains on the cutting edge of this rapidly evolving field of medicine.

Advanced Lipid Testing

from Cleveland Heart Diagnostics

A standard lipid panel alone may not predict your true risk for cardiovascular disease. 

To gain a more comprehensive look at your risk, we recommend advanced, specialized testing for some patients, particularly those with risk factors, to evaluate lipids, inflammation, metabolics, and genetics.

Get started with us

Recent studies show that lowering your LDL cholesterol reduces your risk for a cardiovascular event by only 25 percent, and at least half of people who have experienced a cardiac event had cholesterol levels in the “normal” range.

Frequently Asked Questions

While our medical system has trained specialists, i.e., cardiologists for the heart, neurologists for the brain and so forth, no one has claimed responsibility for the arteries which include over 30,000 miles of pathways that carry blood to all the critical areas of the body.  Our specialties are trained to react with an event occurs but have not been trained to ensure that the arteries are free from inflammation and disease.

Risk factors...

There are a number of known risk factors for cardiovascular disease — “red flags” — that may indicate an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, or diabetes.

A CIMT ultrasound offers valuable insights into inflammatory markers, giving you a complete understanding of your cardiometabolic health and your risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD).
