A researcher was recently honored for his work in treating coronary artery disease, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S according to eurekalert.org.
One way to prevent clogged arteries is with a healthy dietary intake, which one might find with an alkaline diet. Those who are suffering from the disease may have Dr. John Simpson to thank for their treatment.
Upon graduating medical school, Simpson was struck with disbelief when he heard about the idea to use a balloon catheter to treat a clogged artery. However, he became so interested after hearing about it that he decide to research the tool for himself.
Simpson looked at the original device and began to make his own adjustments to it, making it easier to manipulate the balloon with a guide wire, which is now known as an ‘over-the-wire balloon angioplasty catheter.’
When the balloon is inflated, it compresses plaque against the wall of the artery, and also allows the doctors to implant stents, which can keep the widened areas open.
"Dr. Simpson’s inventions have touched millions of patients around the world through the years," said Dr. Richard Smalling. "He is truly one of the major pioneers of interventional cardiology."
Plaque Begins Clogging Your Arteries In Childhood…
You might be surprised to know that by the time you reach age 10, rogue calcium molecules—calcium deposited where it doesn't belong—begin gluing fatty cholesterol deposits to the inner walls of your coronary arteries, forming plaque. And over the years it continues to build up…

For optimum heart, brain and total body health, you must keep your arteries clear and healthy. Now a simple amino acid has been demonstrated to help flush dangerous plaque… help unclog arteries… and help restore healthy blood flow. To get the name of this heart miracle, Click Here…
