1. High Risk Heart Disease Study – High Desert Heart Institute
2. Angelo Cici – Study Participant – Serious Heart Disease Reversed
Dr Arunsalan is interviewed about the ground-breaking heart study that was conducted at the High Desert Heart Institute on a group of extremely ill heart patients. The patients were at a stage that everything that could be done medically had been done and they were still getting worse. Some of the patients were on a heart transplant waiting list. Every patient who completed the study benefited enormously from the program. All had their medication reduced. Those on the transplant list came off the list.
Angelo had problems with Atrial Fibrillation that became so severe that he had a heart pacemaker fitted. In December 2008 he was admitted to hospital with kidney failure, congestive heart failure and failure of his pacemaker. After surgery and having his medication upped to an absolute maximum he continued to get worse. He was in and out of hospital several times a week for a couple of months. Angelo was so ill that he prepared to go home to die when he was offered a place in a study using a nutritional supplement for heart disease. The rest is history, Angelo came back from the brink of death to health and wellbeing once more.
Dr. Siva Arunasalam is the Director and Founder of The High Desert Heart Institute. He came to the U.S in 1977 as an undergraduate of medicine, to the University of Nebraska. He did his MD and PHD in both John Hopkins and Emery Universities in Atlanta and completed his residency and fellowship in the prestigious Cedars-Sinai hospital in UCLA. He is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology. In his interview with John Hewlett, he gives us an in-depth look into his philosophy for cardiovascular care and his findings with the use of L-Arginine in the care of his patients.
Dr. Siva chose 35 of his high-risk patients for the clinical trial, one was later offered a heart transplant and then another opted out of the study leaving 33 patients. All of these patients had reached the position where in the words of Dr. Siva – “Everything medically and pharmacologically that could be done for them had already been done”.
