Heart Attacks and Stokes - The Silent Killers     There are an estimated 70,000 heart attacks each year in Canada, meaning every 7 minutes in Canada, someone dies from heart disease or stroke, making cardiovascular disease (heart disease, diseases of the blood vessels and stroke) accounts for the death of more Canadians than any other disease. These statistics are based on 2004 data (the latest year available from Statistics Canada). In comparison, more than 50,000 strokes occur in Canada each year. That's one stroke every 10 minutes. From this about 80% of strokes are ischemic caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain due to a blood clot and about 20% of strokes are hemorrhagic caused by uncontrolled bleeding in the brain.   Is Sonotherapy Effective as Prevention Against Heart Attacks and Strokes?       Yes! Sonotherapy is clinically proven to work in the prevention of heart attack and stroke.             At the clinic we also offer Doppler Ultrasound Test which uses reflected sound waves to evaluate blood as it flows through a blood vessel. It helps evaluate blood flow through the major arteries and veins of the arms, legs, and neck. The Doppler Ultrasound Test can show blocked or reduced blood flow through narrowing in the major arteries of the neck that could cause a stroke. Thereby, making this test extremely effective evaluate your current condition and the effective of Sonotherapy treatments.   So will clearing the buildup in the walls of the vessels and increasing blood flow help with the silent killers - YES! One of the most astounding benefits of Sonotherapy how it allows the arteries to absorb more and does not allow the loose particles and plaque to form in the veins. Basically, Sonotherapy doesn't break loose the plaque in arteries; it dissolves and absorbs the plaque. Susan Szentpaly has been complaining to her family doctor about her heart problems and high blood pressure for 10-15 years. "My doctor sent me to a cardiologist, who diagnosed me with Aortic-sclerosis throughout the vessels in my neck and coronary artery. That is where I received information about the help Sonotherapy could offer. Within the first month my state of health had greatly increased. After the next 20 treatments passed, my improving state of health continued to climb. I decided to continue with my last 20 treatments in hope of being able to live with my good health for a longer period of time."
