The Atma Approach

Stroke
Prevention

A risk score estimates odds — it doesn't name your mechanism.

Why aspirin is a poor substitute for actually finding the clot source.

By Dr. Neela Sandal

Mainstream Medicine's Approach Is a Blood-Pressure Pill, a Statin, and Aspirin If You Qualify

Family history? Eat better. A-fib? Anticoagulate. The visit is a risk calculator. The reason your blood is sticky, your nights run 160/100, or your rhythm drops at 4 a.m. is not in the calculator.

Sound like your last doctor's appointment?

What Mainstream Medicine Misses

A risk score estimates odds. It does not name your mechanism. Most first strokes are built from rhythm, lining, clotting tendency, and nighttime pressure — not from a lecture about salt. Aspirin can be right. It is a poor substitute for finding the clot source.

The Atma Approach looks at you as a unique person. What would actually write your first (or next) stroke?

Has your doctor ever talked to you about these commonly missed root causes?

Commonly Missed Root Causes

•Silent atrial fibrillation and other rhythm drops that never hit a 10-second EKG
•Nighttime hypertension and sleep apnea hammering small brain vessels
•Insulin resistance and inflamed, sticky platelets
•Unstable plaque from inflammation, not just an LDL box on a printout
•Homocysteine, antiphospholipid antibodies, and other clot tendencies that never got drawn
•Neck-vessel and blood-pressure swings after standing that look like "getting older"
•A prevention list that copies the last patient instead of your map
