#1 Best AT HOME Test to Find Clogged Arteries -
This podcast features Dr. Ford Brewer, a physician with extensive experience, explaining a home test, the ankle brachial index (ABI), to assess arterial plaque buildup. The ABI, using a blood pressure monitor, compares blood pressure in the arms and ankles to detect potential blockages. High or low ABI results may indicate arterial plaque, a significant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes, and Dr. Brewer emphasizes the importance of this test before resorting to medication. The discussion details the procedure, calculation, and interpretation of ABI results, concluding with advice on further steps to address any identified issues.
