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).
[1]
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.

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.
