Preventing and Reversing Atherosclerosis

Detection of Early Stage Coronary Artery Disease

Early stage coronary artery disease (CAD) can be detected prior to the development of heart attack. PET-CT imaging can detect small changes in the flow of blood that occurs as the lining of the artery starts to become abnormal.

Reversal Therapy

Coronary artery disease (CAD) can be substantially reversed or its progression stopped by improving risk factors and by cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals. The vigorous dietary and drug treatment regimen relieves pain, partly reverses and prevents additional vascular diseases, heart attacks, sudden death and the need for balloon dilation or bypass surgery. It is considerably less costly than these procedures with better outcomes. Stopping the basic atherosclerotic process, heart attacks and stroke and decreasing related deaths by prevention or treatment of established coronary heart disease require both long-term, vigorous lifestyle changes and drug therapy as developed at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
