Our Approach

Life expectancy in the industrial world has gone from around 50 years in 1900 to nearly 80 years today.  During that time, through advances in biochemistry such as the creation of vaccines, antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, medical science has made tremendous progress against infectious diseases and many other types of conditions. Hospitalizations and mortalities resulting from cardiovascular diseases however remain high. Numerous new drug therapies have been developed, and new technologies such as the use of angioplasties and stents have been introduced.  Nevertheless, nearly one million people still die of cardiovascular disease each year, creating a cost to the U.S. economy of nearly $450 billion.

The Blood Clinic was established to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.  Our approach is centered on the physics of blood flow.  We believe that medical science has already developed treatments that can prevent and even cure many of the most costly and devastating diseases that we face in the industrialized world.  What is needed is a better understanding of how to apply these treatments through improved diagnostic monitoring, targeting and control.
