Descrizione
Two cardiologists' innovative program to beat heart disease
Most books on heart disease name cholesterol as the chief culprit and focus primarily on controlling it. But according to Drs. Stephen Sinatra and James Roberts, cholesterol is just one part of the story. Drawing on new research that points to the role of inflammation and bacterial infection in heart disease, they present a comprehensive, customizable program designed to manage multiple risk factors-and prevent or reverse arterial inflammation and plaque build-up. Offering state-of-the-art recommendations on cardiovascular testing, medications, diet and exercise, and nutritional supplements, this book gives people the practical information and strategies they need to beat America's #1 killer.
Stephen T. Sinatra, MD (Essex, CT) was chief of cardiology and director of medical education at Manchester Memorial Hospital in Connecticut for almost 20 years. He has appeared on many radio and television shows and is the coauthor of The Fast Food Diet (0-471-79047-8). James C. Roberts, MD (Toledo, OH) is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the Medical Director of the EECP Center of Northwest Ohio, and an expert in radiological and nuclear cardiology. Martin Zucker (Canoga Park, CA) is a writer who specializes in writing about health and medicine.
