Dr. Hamilton’s main interests are in early detection, prevention and reversal of coronary artery disease.
Dr Hamilton created Nightingale’s cardiovascular prevention program that focuses on the early identification of atherosclerosis at a time when it is most able to be reversed. The prevention program minimises cardiovascular risk using long term dietary change, lifestyle modification and intensive pharmacotherapy. These principles of cardiovascular prevention have been shown to increase coronary artery blood flow, relieve pain, reduce heart attacks, reduce sudden death and reduce the need for stenting or bypass surgery. It has been shown to be considerably less costly than these interventional procedures with better outcomes.
