ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
This video is part 2 in a series of videos on cardiovascular inflammation tests. LP-PLA2 is an enzyme involved in critical functions of plaque inflammation: necrotic core (liquid "hot" plaque areas), oxidation of ldl, attraction of white cells(T cells and macrophages). This test has shown to be a great indicator of cadiovascular risk. LP-PLA2 stands for LipoProtein associated Phospholipase A2. Most labs are now getting the more accurate Activity test (not the Mass test). Cut point at Cleveland Heart Labs is 75.
