CVD Treatments

Reduce CV Inflammation, Reduce Plaque, Save Lives 

 

Treating cardiac inflammation can reduce the cardiac event risk of adult patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

​Do I need to lower my inflammation? 

 

Lowering your cardiac inflammation could save your life, especially if:

  • You have had a heart attack, or 

  • You have had a stroke, or 

  • You have been diagnosed to have plaque inside your arteries (atherosclerotic disease) [2], or 

  • You have elevated levels of High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), or

  • You have multiple risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of physical exercise 

Risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death 

 

In addition to your current treatments, your risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death could be lowered by treating inflammation.

 

Your Risk

CVD Treatments 

What the drugs I’m already taking do?
  • Lower cholesterol levels (Statins, Nicotinic acids, Cholesterol absorption inhibitors) 

  • Lower blood pressure (ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs), Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNIs), Beta blockers, Calcium channel blockers) 

  • Prevent blood clots (Blood thinners, Anti-platelet agents) [3]

 

What they don’t do?

  • Lower Inflammation

 

Ask your doctor about lowering your risk 

 

95% of cardiologists recognize the importance of inflammation in preventing future cardiovascular events such as a heart attack or stroke.
