About

Company Profile

CardioGrade is the U.S. and Mexico distributor for Integrated Medicine of the patented, FDA-approved BPro® Radial Pulse Wave Acquisition Device.

CardioGrade grew from the efforts of Dr. Joe Prendergast’s Endocrine Metabolic Medical Center, a clinic that approaches patient care with principles of integrative medicine and a focus on disease prevention.

Dr. Joe’s approach promotes well-being through non-invasive forms of treatment. The clinic helps patients with diabetes, weight control issues, thyroid conditions, hypertension, and inflammatory conditions.

In an effort to increase the quality and depth of patient care, Dr. Joe and his team scoured the planet in search of complementary medical devices. In particular, they sought devices that would measure CASP and rAI in order to accurately gauge the cardiovascular health of their patients.

After testing many inferior devices, they were ecstatic to discover the HealthSTATS BPro® device.

“Patient empowerment is probably the most philosophically exciting idea to emerge in medicine in recent years. Patients can, and must, be educated to play the primary role in maintaining their own health. I have seen it work and have had the great satisfaction over the past 30 years of helping thousands of individuals live full and active lives.” -Dr. Joe
