Over a million men and women in this country will suffer a heart attack this year. Another 600,000 will have a stroke. Doctors who practice aggressive prevention see another statistic entirely. Because the truth is, the great majority of these heart attacks and strokes can be prevented--right now, with medical knowledge we already possess. But instead of focusing on prevention, too many doctors and hospitals push for invasive procedures like bypasses that produce more income. In his most personal and passionate work, Dr. Arthur Agatston, who has helped millions of people find a healthy lifestyle, now hopes to champion a revolution in preventive medicine that will save lives. Drawing on nearly three decades as a practicing cardiologist, he outlines the key elements of his program: Non-invasive imaging of the heart and blood vessels. Advanced blood testing. A regimen of diet, exercise, and medication. Repeat testing to assure the patient and physician that the treatment is working. Dr. Agatston has watched his patients thrive as a result of his prevention strategy. With expert advice from an expert they have learned to trust, the American public can join his Prevention Revolution and take the necessary steps to live healthier and longer. <HR class=bucketDivider noShade SIZE=1> <BR><B class=h1>Amazon.com Exclusive</B><BR><BR><A><IMG hspace=4 src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/aplus/sbd_logo-blk.gif" align=left vspace=4 border=0>Order <i>The South Beach Heart Program: The 4-Step Plan that Can Save Your Life</i> and receive a free one-month membership to The South Beach Diet online and The South Beach Diet Fitness Club online (a $32.00 value).

But the fact is that the <i>size</i> of your cholesterol is just as important as the total number. If that surprises you, there is a good chance that much of what you <i>think</i> you know about cholesterol is wrong and that what you <i>don't</i> know about cholesterol could be killing you.<p>Luckily, there are now tests that can determine the size of your cholesterol and whether it is a problem. And there are steps you can take to do something about it if it is. As I explain in <i>The South Beach Heart Program</i>, the earlier you know where you stand in terms of your risk for heart disease, the greater your chance of preventing a heart attack or stroke in the future.<p>Before I go into how you can find out the size of your cholesterol, let me give you a little background on cholesterol in general.<BR> <P>Continue reading "What Size Is Your Cholesterol?"<BR> <P></P><BR> <HR class=bucketDivider noShade SIZE=1> <DIV class=bucket><B class=h1>Hit the <I>Beach</I></B> <TABLE cellPadding=4 width="100%"> <TBODY> <TR align=middle> <TD width="33%"> <P><IMG src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1579546463.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border=0><BR><I>The South Beach Diet</I> </P></TD> <TD width="33%"><IMG src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1594864446.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border=0><BR><I>The South Beach Diet Parties & Holidays Cookbook </TD> <TD width="33%"><IMG src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1594862923.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border=0><BR><I>The South Beach Diet Quick & Easy Cookbook</I> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> <HR class=bucketDivider noShade SIZE=1> 1048825 26 12 2006 The South Beach Heart Program: The 4-Step Plan that Can Save Your Life total:13|5:2|4:5|3:5|2:1| 13 47 20 2 38176 1594864195 9781594864193 11 2 3.62 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169064141m/38176.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38176.The_South_Beach_Heart_Program_The_4_Step_Plan_that_Can_Save_Your_Life 5 0 false Wed Dec 17 07:06:49 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 02 16:02:38 -0700 2009 The South Beach Heart Program: The 4-Step Plan that Can Save Your Life, offers his call to action for preventing heart attacks and strokes.
