A revolutionary, personalized guide to preventing heart disease based
on genetic factors
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in America. It affects 81
million Americans and is the culprit in one of every two deaths in the
United States. Most people think that they are not at risk of a heart
attack if they control their cholesterol and blood pressure, but they
aren't aware of other major risk factors. The good news is that with the
right information and strategies, heart attacks are preventable--even if
heart disease runs in the family.
In Beat the Heart Attack Gene, world-renowned cardiovascular
specialists Bradley Bale, MD and Amy Doneen, ARNP, present a new model
for understanding and preventing heart disease. They explain the three
different genetic types of cholesterol profiles and tailor treatments
for each type, using their cutting-edge Bale/Doneen Method, a simple,
comprehensive prevention plan that detects cardiovascular disease (CVD)
at early stages. Beat the Heart Attack Gene includes easy quizzes and
self-tests that show how to determine cholesterol genotype as well as
advice for how to apply that knowledge through nutritional and lifestyle
changes. For heart attack and stroke survivors, the Bale/Doneen Method
also helps prevent recurrences by identifying and treating what's
triggering the patient's disease--a crucial step that many cardiologists
neglect.
With their proven method utilized by healthcare professionals
worldwide*,* Bale and Doneen empower readers by alerting them to
potential health threats, and then offer personalized, evidence-based
strategies so they can live healthy, active lives without fear of heart
attack or stroke. Specifically, Beat the Heart Attack Gene addresses:
