Heart
disease (CVD) is the leading
cause of death in both men and women. Despite the fact that more
and more people are being treated for risk factors each day,
including high cholesterol and hypertension, death rates from CVD
continue to rise. This is unfortunate, considering it is largely
preventable.
Common diseases and
associated conditions include:
 |
Arrhythmia |
|
Angina |
|
High cholesterol |
|
High blood pressure |
|
Diabetes |
|
PAD (Peripheral Artery
Disease) |
|
Obesity |
|
Stroke |
|
Heart Attack |

Naturopathic Medicine
for Heart Disease
Prescription medications
are often used in the symptomatic treatment of heart disease,
leaving patients with unwanted side effects and a lifetime
dependence on those medications. With naturopathic medicine we
address the underlying cause of CVD, which is inflammation,
and allow the body to regain its natural state of optimal health.
