Overview• Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast the doctor at
the center of it all• What’s so special about him??• The Progression of Vascular Disease• How Circulation Happens• Three Contributing Factors to
Atherosclerosis• Dr. Joe’s Pro Argi-9 Plus• Pulse Wave Technology

Dr. Joe’s Successes• Has performed more vascular screening tests
than any doctor in the United States.• 17 years with no deaths from Heart Attack or
Stroke in his patient population• No Diabetic Blindness• No Amputations• A successful wound healing program• The Secret Is:
–TEST TREAT TEST
Hypertension Statistics
www.americanheart.org
• One in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure.
• From 1994 to 2004 the age-adjusted death rate from high blood pressure increased 25.2 percent.
• The cause of 90–95 percent of the cases of high blood pressure isn't known; however, high blood pressure is easily detected and usually controllable.
Healthy Coronary Artery
• Here is a cross-section of the coronary artery. Most of its wall is filled with smooth muscle cells that can contract and relax.
Artery with Atherosclerotic Plaque
• The arteries are sites of a very common disease, atherosclerosis. Here, an atherosclerotic plaque has formed in a coronary artery. It consists of cholesterol, inflammatory cells, and fibrosis, and it reduces the space for blood flow in the artery.
Spasm of an Artery• A spasm can
suddenly develop in an atherosclerotic coronary artery. This reduces blood flow to the heart and causes chest pain. The condition is called angina pectoris.
Nitroglycerin Medication Administered
• Nitroglycerin dilates constricted arteries. This improves blood flow and alleviates chest pain. Therefore, nitroglycerin is often used by patients with angina pectoris
The Discovery
Ferid Murad Louis J. Ignarro Robert Furchgot
Stockholm Sweden October 12, 1998Three Americans won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering that the body uses nitric oxide gas to make blood vessels relax and widen. This is a finding that could pay off in treatments for heart disease Associated Press
