Dear Reader, What do you do when you're diagnosed with high heart attack risk? If you're like most of my patients, you want to learn everything you can about the disorder to become the best-informed health consumer you can be. But where do you start? The library? The internet? How can you tell what's current...what's accurate...what's safe? Your own physician? If only doctors had the kind of time required to give their patients the in-depth education they want and need. Introducing... The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Heart Attack Prevention The expertise you require in the layman's language you can understand and apply. The Johns Hopkins White Papers redefine the term "informed consumer." In The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Heart Attack Prevention, specialists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report in depth on the latest heart attack prevention strategies and treatments. Thousands of Americans rely on Johns Hopkins expertise to help them improve their health and longevity. Each year, some 565,000 Americans suffer first heart attacks, and another 300,000 have recurrent attacks. About a third are fatal. And it's not just a “man's disease.” Women are six times more likely to die of a heart attack than of breast cancer. While heart attack remains the leading cause of death in America, Johns Hopkins specialists have identified a number of steps that can dramatically lower your risk. This timely new report contains potentially lifesaving strategies for the millions of people with high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), weight control issues, a sedentary lifestyle, and other known risk factors. Use The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Heart Attack Prevention to work with your doctor to develop your own customized program for heart attack prevention. The more you know about steps you can actively take to prevent a heart attack, the better prepared you will be to combat the factors beyond your control, such as genetics. Learning as much as possible about the causes, effects, and treatments of the factors which all contribute to heart attack is the first step toward living a full life with minimal discomfort and physical limitations.
