ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
There are many ways used to detect and measure plaque—stress tests, Agatston score through a calcium CT scan, CIMT, and angiograms. But all these tests may come at a cost, and you need to visit the clinic or laboratory to get them done.

There is one DIY test which you can easily do at home—the ABI or Ankle Brachial Index. You can perform it with just your BP (blood pressure) monitoring tool. In this video, I’ll explain what ABI is, how to do ABI test, how to calculate and interpret your ABI results, and ABI's limitations.

🩺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.
