Most people think that they are not at risk of a heart attack if they control their cholesterol and blood pressure, but they aren't aware of other major risk factors. The good news is that with the right information and strategies, heart attacks are preventable--even if heart disease runs in the family. Cardiovascular specialists Bradley Bale, MD and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model for understanding and preventing heart disease. The three different genetic types of cholesterol profiles and treatments and diets for each type, using the authors' simple, comprehensive prevention plan that detects cardiovascular disease (CVD) at early stages.
