Dr. Mintz has done research in the area of inflammation. It is now felt that the irritation of the blood vessels can contribute to cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Inflammation can be detected from a simple blood test referred to as Cardio-CRP. This analysis taken into account with other risk factors is used to thoroughly evelauate the patient.
