Welcome

Nearly one million people die in the United States of cardiovascular disease every year.
Six million are hospitalized every year because of cardiovascular disease.

For decades it has been known that blood viscosity, the thickness of your blood, can have a major impact on your circulatory health. In fact, numerous published scientific studies have proven that blood viscosity is a strong independent predictor of circulatory problems, including heart attack, stroke and other serious conditions. Blood viscosity is a measure of the inherent resistance of blood to flow.  It is the only parameter that tells you how much damage your blood can cause to your arteries. This damage is what causes cardiovascular disease.

The Blood Clinic can tell you how thick or thin your blood is. This allows clinicians to determine the ability of a patient’s blood to flow, the physical injury that blood can inflict on the inner walls of arteries, and the burden  of work on a patient’s heart in pumping blood throughout the body.

Cardiovascular disease is responsible for more deaths every year than cancer and AIDS combined. Over 60 million in the United States have cardiovascular disease, but only one-third of them realize they have it.

Knowing your blood viscosity can be as important as knowing your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  Managing your viscosity is like the difference between forcing your heart to pump wine versus ketchup.

The Blood Clinic now makes this important test available to you.  To find out how you can know your own blood viscosity level, contact The Blood Clinic.
