Book Synopsis
How to Prevent a Heart Attack or Stroke? Start with an Artery Screening Test.A heart attack or stroke can often be prevented. That's because artery clogging that leads to a heart attack or stroke develops slowly over time. Anyone who detects artery clogging at an early stage can slow or stop its progression, by lowering the level of "bad" LDL cholesterol in the blood through healthy lifestyle choices and/or a statin prescription.
Five heart doctors (cardiologists) have recommended that doctors check their patients for artery clogging, but so far, very few do. Fortunately, anyone can obtain a safe and simple test to detect artery-clogging at an early stage, without a doctor's order. If you obtain this screening test and it shows you have artery clogging, you can work with your doctor to reduce your LDL level, potentially adding healthy years to your life.
This slim book, based on 40 medical journal articles, provides all the information you need to preserve the health of your arteries, for a healthier life.
WILLIAM DRISCOLL is a journalist who was fortunate to learn that his arteries were getting clogged, so he could work with his doctor to protect his health. He wrote this book so others could have the same opportunity.
