Everyone knows we should be concerned about our cholesterol and heart health. But you'd be amazed how many people ignore the essential tools for preventing a heart attack:
You could try the library or the internet. But there's almost TOO much information out there. How can you know what's current. . . what's accurate. . . what's safe?
You could talk to a friend or relative with a similar condition. Support is important, but the choices you make should be based on solid, state-of-the-art scientific research. And be right for YOU.
You could consult your own physician. Wouldn't it be wonderful if doctors had all the time required to give patients the in-depth education you want and need?
Early detection is key when it comes to treating any disease. In Heart Attack Prevention 2008, you'll learn:
- Will testing for C-reactive protein (a simple blood test) tell you anything that can help lower your risk?
- What should you know about the new PLAC test, recently approved by the FDA and used to measure an enzyme associated with increased risk of heart disease?
- What happens during an exercise stress test, and how does it differ from a nuclear medicine stress test? What's your risk of having a heart attack during the test?
- How is nuclear imaging used to pinpoint the site of a blockage?
- How can an echocardiogram be used to diagnose heart disease?
Explore new technologies that are now available to measure calcium in coronary arteries. See how the tests are done and understand coronary calcium's role in predicting future heart attacks. And whether or not this test is right for YOU.
Plus, you'll get ALL NEW "Ask the Doctor" features throughout Heart Attack Prevention 2008, with answers to your most pressing questions.

How great is your risk?
A close look at the factors that set the stage for heart attack
Simply, clearly, and accurately, the specialists at Johns Hopkins explain the major risk factors that lead to heart attack.
You will take a close look at the different types of lipids. Understand cholesterol's role in your body . . . the difference between "good" HDL and "bad" LDL cholesterol . . . why reducing cholesterol levels can help prevent coronary heart disease and heart attacks . . . how triglycerides differ from the other lipids.
You will see how inflammation and C-reactive protein are associated with risk of heart disease and heart attack. Examine the role of blood clots and coronary artery spasms in triggering heart attacks.
You will learn which risk factors (like age and heredity) can't be changed, although knowing about them can inspire you to take the preventive steps that can LOWER your risk of heart attack.
More important, you will learn which risk factors are within your control. You'll be able to set clear, practical goals for yourself with guidance from the Johns Hopkins specialists. And what to do if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, obesity, or metabolic syndrome working against you.

The right lifestyle changes can go a long way toward bringing down high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. These simple changes may be enough to let you avoid medication altogether. But if not, making a few well-chosen adjustments in your habits can boost the effectiveness of the medications you take, perhaps even reducing the dosage you require.
Heart Attack Prevention 2008 gives you tested, proven ways to stop smoking, a known risk factor for heart attack.
Confused about what's a "good" fat and what's a "bad" fat? You get clear, specific guidelines from the experts at Johns Hopkins.
Learn how erectile dysfunction, far from being embarrassing, can actually be a helpful sign of several underlying heart problems that you really need to look into right away with the help of your doctor.
Learn from the latest research on the heart-protective effects of a diet low in saturated fat.
See why all fiber sources are NOT the same, and what new research reveals about fiber's ability to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease in both men and women.
What about soy? Antioxidants? Limiting your sodium? Boosting your potassium intake? Learn effective ways to get your risk factors under control through the food choices you make every day.
What counts as "exercise?"
Do you have to break a sweat before it's good for your heart?
You've heard it before: regular exercise can raise HDL cholesterol, control your weight, improve the work capacity of your heart, reduce your blood pressure and blood glucose, and relieve stress.
So why is it so difficult to get up off the couch and get moving?
Heart Attack Prevention 2008 reveals the right kind of exercise to reduce your risk of heart attack.
You'll learn how often to exercise. Whether short bursts of activity can offer the same protection as longer exercise periods when it comes to reducing your risk of coronary heart disease (the answer may surprise you).
You'll see how the benefits of exercise can be greatest if you suffer from metabolic syndrome (at least three of the following coronary heart disease risk factors: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal blood glucose levels, high triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol levels).
CAUTION!!
The "best" treatments for coronary heart disease
could depend on whether you are a man or a woman.
As I'm sure you are well aware, men ARE different from women. But did you know that women's bodies respond differently than men's to certain prevention strategies, diagnostic tests, and drug therapies? They can have different outcomes from surgical procedures, as well.
The early warning signs of a heart attack may be different enough that a woman - as well as her doctor and the emergency room staff - may overlook or misunderstand the urgency of her seemingly minor or vague symptoms.
You'll get all this and more in Heart Attack Prevention, available right now as a digital PDF download, with a full money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied for any reason with the cutting-edge information you'll receive as soon as you place your order.
Considering that heart disease is the #1 killer of women in America, more than ten times as deadly as the threat posed by breast cancer, it's essential that you know and recognize the differences in the symptoms men and women show when they are suffering from heart disease, or actually having a heart attack.

Look Inside the Book: Heart Attack Prevention
The sooner you take steps to reduce your heart attack risk, the better. Prevention remains your most powerful medicine. But knowing how to respond in an emergency—whether it involves you, or someone you are with—can be crucial to survival.
When heart attack strikes. . .
be prepared with a fast and appropriate response.
As you will learn in your free copy of Tested, Proven Ways to Save Your Own Heart, what you do and what you don't do during the first crucial minutes and hours following a heart attack can make all the difference in the outcome.
Did you know that a third of all people having a heart attack never experience any chest pain at all? Your Johns Hopkins-designed "Action Plan When a Heart Attack Strikes" alerts you to the range of warning signs, including the less common ones that are more likely to occur in women.
At what point should you call an ambulance? When are you better off driving the person to the hospital instead of waiting for the ambulance to arrive? What information must the emergency personnel have right away? How do you handle the person in denial, who insists, "You're overreacting" or "There's nothing wrong?"
I hope you never need to use this information at all. But you'll be much better prepared to respond calmly and effectively when you have your free gift, Tested, Proven Ways to Save Your Own Heart, on hand.
