The number one killer in America today, cardiovascular disease claims as many lives as the next 8 leading causes of death combined, including cancer, accidents, and AIDS. Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that this deadly disease is very often preventable. With advances in molecular medicine, researchers have discovered important early indicators that can significantly change the direction of preventative and therapeutic treatment, decreasing the incidence and halting the progression of the disease.

Based on the latest advancements in cardiovascular disease (CVD) research Great Smokies has developed a revolutionary new test Comprehensive Cardiovascular Assessment

The following are articles associated with disease markers:

Cardiovascular Disease Markers: The most advanced and comprehensive analysis of the biochemical markers associated with heart disease and stroke.

Heart Disease and Adrenal Hormones: Researchers have recently discovered that DHEA may exert a powerful effect in protecting against cardiovascular disorders.

Cardiovascular Disease and Fatty Acids: Certain dietary fatty acids seem to guard against the hardening of fatty deposits in the arteries.

Heart Disease and Oxidative Stress: A healthy antioxidant defense helps the body defend against CVD progression mediated by oxidative stress.

Disease and Element Imbalances: Hypertension and other cardiovascular problems have been linked to toxic and nutrient imbalances.

Cardiovascular Disease and Amino Acids: Amino acids can impact a diverse range of cardiovascular functions.

Cardiovascular Disease and Melatonin: A decrease in melatonin causes increased night-time sympathetic activity, which in turn is linked to coronary disease.

Cardiovascular Disease and Stress: People who report that their job is stressful are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome, a collection of cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels, according to the report.
