From the Inside Flap
While most books focus solely on the role of cholesterol in heart disease, Reverse Heart Disease Now draws on new research that points to the surprising other causes. Leading cardiologists Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Dr. James Roberts draw on their collective fifty years of clinical cardiology research to show you how to combine the benefits of modern medicine, over-the-counter vitamins and supplements, and simple lifestyle changes to have a healthy heart-- whether you have acute or chronic disease or just want to prevent cardiovascular disease from developing.

Focusing on crisis prevention, Reverse Heart Disease Now gives you the practical information and strategies you need to stop heart disease in its tracks. You'll discover how:

• You can combat heart disease before the first heart attack
• Your arteries can become enveloped in inflammation and plaque that lead to heart attack, stroke, and heart failure-- and what to do about it
• Medications, scientifically proven supplements, and lifestyle changes can extinguish the flames of disease and purge and stabilize arteries-- even for the most compromised cases
• Fish oil, nattokinase, L-arginine, CoQ10, magnesium, vitamin C, and other supplements can help prevent arterial clogging
• CoQ10, along with L-carnitine and D-ribose, can powerfully recharge weak and ailing hearts

Through the breakthrough integrative program found in Reverse Heart Disease Now, you can become more involved in your own healing process and even prevent heart disease before it strikes. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Hardcover) It's too bad this book won't be read by every primary care physician and every cardiologist and every patient with heart disease, but it should be. The collaboration of two leading edge cardiologists has resulted in a book full of the latest approaches to managing plaques and heart disease. This book moves beyond Dr. Sinatra's first classic, The Sinatra Solution, and focuses on the problem of plaque build-up in your arteries. The latest theory of inflammation as the cause of hardening of the arteries, as well as many other chronic illnesses is addressed here with dietary changes, supplements, and medications. For example, when to use statins alongside the natural supplements for reducing cholesterol and other risk factors for plaque formation is clearly discussed. It's wonderful to read what these two doctors do for their patients outside the box set by the FDA in defining the indications for prescription medications. From my own experience their approaches do work for many people. I will be recommending this book to many patients and featuring it on my website. Bob Sager, MD, DABFM
