Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Conference on Nov 8-9, 2019 in Louisville, KY. Register Now!!!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO: There is huge variability in ordering stress tests. Studies have shown that most doctors will order stress tests 25% of the time for certain conditions, while some doctors will order a stress test over 75% of the time.

But it seems like we are doing lots of unnecessary stress tests. Stress tests only detect blockage that's greater than 50%. However, 68% of heart attacks occur in occlusion of less than 50%. So think twice if your doc suggests a stress testing.

I also provided a little follow-up on recent information that I've provided. For example, if stress tests don't cure angina in clinical trials, why do some people feel better?

ABOUT DR. BREWER:
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed prediabetes or insulin resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like prediabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.
