Contact UsWhat Are Heart Attacks and Strokes?
Heart attacks happen when one or more areas of the heart muscle aren't receiving enough oxygen, and strokes are when the brain isn't receiving enough oxygen. Both of these conditions prevent blood flow to the necessary areas and are cause for immediate emergency assistance. The BaleDoneen Method we use at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine uses lab and imaging tests to provide a comprehensive assessment to our San Diego, CA patients so we can check for any signs of arterial disease that can cause heart attacks and strokes. This preventive BaleDoneen Method works to detect any issues before they become bigger medical problems that require advanced solutions. For more information on how these tests work to safeguard your health, contact our office today.

How Do You Prevent Heart Attacks and Strokes?
Using the BaleDoneen Method at Fontaine MD Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Medicine, we conduct lab imaging and tests to help detect arterial inflammation throughout the body. Comprehensive treatment plans are created to help effectively target any problem areas so that it doesn't become worse. The BaleDoneen method involves:
- Education: Help patients to understand the causes of heart attacks and strokes and the steps needed to prevent these types of events in the future (regardless of if you've already suffered these conditions) so that you can recover and get well.
- Disease: Identify which patients have plaque in the arteries with testing so they can be monitored and decide what treatment is best.
- Fire: We use a series of tests (called a "fire panel") to detect and monitor inflammation.
- Roots: This step involves putting out that fire to identify and treat the cause. Determining the root cause can possibly halt the disease.
- Optimal: The setting of optimal goals that lead to better outcomes for more effective heart attack and stroke prevention.
- Genes: Basing the care we provide on the patient's genes. We use genetic testing to identify and provide effective solutions for each patient.

Heart Attack Prevention FAQs
How do regular medical check-ups contribute to heart attack and stroke prevention?
Regular medical check-ups are crucial for early detection and management of risk factors associated with heart attacks and strokes. During these check-ups, healthcare providers can monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar levels and assess lifestyle habits. Early intervention and management of these risk factors through medication and lifestyle modifications can prevent the progression of cardiovascular diseases and reduce the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes.
What dietary habits are beneficial for preventing heart attacks and strokes?
Adopting heart-healthy dietary habits can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, such as those found in fish, nuts, and olive oil, supports cardiovascular health. Limiting the intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and foods high in saturated and trans fats helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Incorporating these dietary habits into your daily routine promotes a healthier heart and reduces stroke risk.
How does regular physical activity help in preventing heart attacks and strokes?
Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining cardiovascular health and preventing heart attacks and strokes. Exercise helps control weight, lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and enhance blood circulation. Activities such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling for at least 150 minutes per week can significantly reduce these risks. Regular exercise also strengthens the heart muscle, making it more efficient at pumping blood and reducing overall cardiovascular strain.
