The South Beach Heart Programme

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in the developed world but there is a surprising amount that can be done to prevent, treat and even reverse this devastating disease. In this authoritative, clearly written book, world-renowned cardiologist Dr Arthur Agatston shares his expert knowledge of this field.

Part one of the book looks at how the majority of heart attacks and strokes can be prevented; how understanding your own heart attack risk can help you benefit from aggressive prevention; why your genetic inheritance need to make you a victim of heart attack or stroke; why many people with healthy cholesterol levels may actually be in danger; why seemingly healthy people can suddenly have a heart attack; and why lifestyle factors are so important in preventing heart disease.

Part two features Dr Agatston's South Beach Heart Programme, which includes heart-healthy diet principle to keep you well; advice on the advanced screening tests that may be appropriate; and an exercise regime that will help to keep your heart in good shape.
