So I just wanted to let you know we've got a CIMT event scheduled for
Birmingham on February 8th. We've only got a couple of people registered. We
didn't expect a big turnout for Birmingham anyway, but
here's how it works. David is a public speaker, and he speaks on heart attack
and stroke prevention and cardiovascular inflammation and a lot of the stuff that
we talk about. In fact, David's very well informed in this space. When he does an
event, he agreed to stay on an extra day and provide CIMT access for the
YouTube channel viewers. So that's what he'll do now. The people that have
already registered, if we have to cancel, we will offer and allow them to come in
to David's event the day before. But if you'd like to come, you'd like to hear a
full-day discussion about heart attack and stroke risk, cardiovascular
inflammation, then go ahead and register. Now, let me just clarify how to find
these. You go to our website PrevMedHeartRisk.com as you see there with
the logo then you go to the membership login. Membership login will take you
here. And then as you see you'll go down to CIMT events and click on this
arrow that's very faint that you can hardly see, then that'll pop up the CIMT
events schedule as you see here the PrevMed events where we will...
actually, I'll be speaking and we'll do evaluations with labs and a
full-blown evaluation. Those are on February 28th in Orlando, April 17th in
Central Western Ohio. And we're planning in the July-August time period for LA.
The Brewer-Meinz event where David Meinz is giving the information. I join a
little bit bio video. This next one is on February.
The others here are in these dates and locations are listed. So if you'd like to
join, please do now. Let me just make you aware of something else. If you'd like to
join and get a routine email regarding when these come up, go to CardioRisk.US/Ford
and then you can sign up and get notice on these on a
regular basis. Wanted to just briefly run through a couple of other things about
our membership page. You saw it a minute ago.
It's where we keep information. You don't have to pay for access to the membership
page. That's free. It includes free infographics, course, book previews. We've
actually got a book coming out. I finished my draft, and it's been long
and painful. It's on plaque detection and the unfortunate thing that most people
go through the standard process. A Framingham which can up to double your
risk on a regular basis and ends up with a lot of people on statins that
shouldn't be. A stress test - 30% of the negatives really
were wrong, 30% of the positives wrong. Nobody knows which
ones were wrong, which one were false at the time. So all the positives go into
the cath lab and all of the negatives get told that you're fine.
And it's Tim Russert and several other people... Garry Shandling... if they were
alive, could tell you that's not the case. Stress test does not predict heart
attack. So we've got some information on there. We're planning on giving you
that book, has a significance, it's got a good story in the beginning to get you
started. It's got a great glossary of terms to just help people wade through
all these different terms that we use in this space. There's no way you can study
this space without having to learned some vocabulary. And we've also
got a significant bibliography, probably about 200 articles and citations. Those
alone are going to create most of the value for a lot of folks. But again, we
would love very much for you to start taking a look at that kind of
information as Cliede and Paul start getting that up. Thank you for your
interest.
