It is ALWAYS a delight to see that what I do makes a huuuuge difference in my patients lives. This is what we do here at the City of Hope Heart and Vascular Center everyday!!!
Here is one such case. Middle aged Caucasian Male who had been having gradual worsening of leg pain, especially when he walks a few feet. He also reported that he was having erection issues. We did a non-invasive assessment of blood flow in his ankles (ABI's) and found that both of his legs lacked adequate flow.
I brought him in today and found out why. These pictures below, shows you where we started, what we found and how I fixed both blockages. He felt the difference right there on the table.
All of that took less that 65mins and no big open incisions. Just 2 pinhole incisions in both groins. We do our magic with wires, balloons and stents.

Another blocked artery bites the dust at the hands of Dr. K.
See below a blocked artery opened up by Dr. K. This patient was coming g to the hospital every almost every week with chest pain. Dr. K took him to the operating room to take a look at his heart. He found two severely blocked arteries. This is one of the arteries that were severely narrowed with close to 99% blockage. Dr. K used balloons and stents to open the artery. Now the patient feels like new.
Come see us at the City of Hope heart and Vascular center if you are having pain in your chest or if you get winded easily when you walk. You may have one of these hiding in your chest.
AHA: Diets Should Stress Healthy Foods, Not Diversity.

— 'Eat variety of foods' mantra may actually promote obesity, group says
A diverse diet may not be best for weight loss, according to a science advisory from the American Heart Association (AHA).
Opposing the long-standing belief that a diverse diet is necessary for proper nutrition, the AHA highlighted observational research that instead suggests that a diverse diet may lead to a greater intake of highly processed foods, refined grains, and sugar-sweetened beverages, leading to weight gain and obesity.
In the same vein, aiming for a diverse diet -- rather than a healthy, high-quality diet -- may also lead to less consumption of minimally processed foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and fish, Marcia de Oliveira Otto, PhD, MS, of the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and colleagues wrote in Circulation.
The recommendation conflicts with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommends that people "focus on variety" when it comes to their diet and "choose a variety of nutrient-dense foods across and within all food groups in recommended amounts" across a range of vegetables, fruits, grain-based foods like bread and pasta, dairy, and proteins including red meat, poultry, eggs, beans, and nuts.
Instead, the AHA recommended people aim for adequate intake of healthier foods, focusing on a high-quality diet of plants, lean proteins, low-fat dairy, vegetable oils, and nuts to lower disease risk, reflected by the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan.
"Eating a more diverse diet might be associated with eating a greater variety of both healthy and unhealthy foods" explained de Oliveira Otto in a statement. "Combined, such an eating pattern may lead to increased food consumption and obesity."
"Selecting a range of healthy foods, which fits one's budget or taste, and sticking with them, is potentially better at helping people maintain a healthy weight than choosing a greater range of foods that may include less healthy items such as donuts, chips, fries, and cheeseburgers, even in moderation."
When developing the recommendation statement, the AHA group performed a literature review of observational and interventional studies published between 2000 and 2017 in adults looking at the effects of diet on body weight and obesity.
The AHA advisory also highlighted how the research in this area is largely limited and inconsistent, and thus called for a standardized and reliable measure for diet diversity. The group also called for future research to examine how diet diversity affects long-term cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes and any potential ethnic or racial differences within these clinical outcomes.
"Future research should include stratification by food healthfulness to help identify key food groups that could be targeted to help achieve and maintain healthy weight over time," the statement suggested.
