About this course

Half the people you know will die of cardiovascular disease.

There have been huge changes in clinical cardiology in the last few years that affect our natural approach. Now, more than ever, natural healthcare professionals have the ability to help the number one cause of death in our community. This Masterclass is filled with clinical pearls and “ah ha” moments as we bust the myths of old-style natural cardiovascular care. The Natural Cardiovascular Masterclass is a comprehensive and up to date analysis of cardiovascular dysfunction designed to ensure you obtain a high level of expertise.

This Masterclass contains a Special Bonus presentation by Dr Ryan Bradley that introduces the key concepts of cardiovascular pathology – Vascular Injury and Endothelial Dysfunction. Also, our final session is a grand rounds session where all three presenters discuss real clinical cases as a panel.

More than 50% of deaths and disability from heart disease and strokes, which together kill more than 12 million people worldwide each year, can be cut by a combination of simple, cost-effective national efforts and individual actions to reduce major risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and smoking.

At some point in every patient’s care we need to address cardiovascular risk. It’s time natural and integrative healthcare professionals take a serious look at the number one cause of death in our society. Are you helping your patients dramatically reduce their risk of heart disease and related illnesses?

Cardiovascular death is unpredictable and 50% of deaths have none of the standard risk factors. We need to understand the broader risk profile and also take a precautionary wellness approach with all of our patients. A cardiovascular prevention discussion needs to be a part of every patient’s care plan. Developing high-level skill in cardiovascular disease is a prerequisite for good patient care.
