Editorial Review: Product Description: It's a sad fact: 90% of all heart disease goes undetected until heart attack strikes. An annual physical won't uncover it, you may feel great, exercise and eat intelligently, your LDL cholesterol may be 92 or 192--it makes little difference. Then how can you predict your heart's future? Do you need a crystal ball? Well, you don't have a crystal ball. But you have the next best thing: Track Your Plaque, the program that shows you how to use the new heart scans to measure and control coronary plaque. Coronary plaque is heart disease that leads to heart attack. If you know you have hidden coronary plaque and how much, you have the power to take control of your heart health future. Quantifying the amount of plaque you have is the most powerful measure available to predict future heart attack, far better than knowing your cholesterol. The revolutionary program that shows you how to begin to take control of your heart's future now! Track Your Plaque is a 3-step program that shows how you can: 1) Detect and measure coronary plaque easily and inexpensively 2) Identify the causes of your coronary plaque with methods that go far beyond simple-minded cholesterol measures 3) Effectively treat the causes and gain control of your plaque Track Your Plaque reaches farther than any other available program and can provide life-changing information to seize control of your future.

 Rating:  - Bye Bye heart disease! hello breast cancerAn informative book but leaves the following out: 1. It is an advertisement for the service in an interesting way ( you pay the cost by purchasing the book) 2. It does not emphasize the point that a heart scan is EBCT scan and not an MDCT scan. Lately allot of cardiology practices have been advertising MDCT scan which involves a huge radiation and kidney damage risk from the contrast used. Yes lets prevent heart disease and increase breast cancer! 3. EBCT scan ...

I had low cholesterol, low blood pressure, exercised and ate very healthy food. I started to have unstable angina, and no one would believe that it was my heart, they said that was impossible. I ended up in the ER, had a stent put in and Re-stenosed (re-blocked) from the stent, then was forced to have Bypass surgery. No one could tell me why these things were happening. They put me on Lipitor even tho my cholesterol ... Read More Rating: - Excellent presentation of complex material and has a happy ending!This book is fascinating. Tough science written in a friendly, accurate and motivating manner. I can think of few books that cover the depth of lipid biochemistry and heart disease in language that is understood by the non-science readers. I not only found the diet and supplements advise stimulating and convincing (and I'm a nutritionist!), but I have started to incorporate some of these concepts when I advise my subjects and patients at Rush who need to make positive health changes. Furthermore, I ... Read More Rating: - All cardiologists should study the documented reversals extensively detailed by physicians on the author's website. I have researched coronary artery disease in great depth and I can say with confidence that the most important source of information about reversing heart disease is found on the author's website: [...] You will see that many physicians and patients are interacting and sharing the methods of authentic, measured reversals -- yes, reverals, measured by scans -- on this website. This is the future of cardiology. Rating: - Track the Facts...I wanted to read this book for two reasons: my husband has arrhythmia, sees a cardiologist regularly, takes his meds and aspirin but still has concerns. I know as I age that heart disease catches up with women and does become the #1 killer. Although I think the author may push certain things because he developed this system and the EBT scan, all these items are still valid. You can check your calcium levels, C-reactive proteins, and HDL/LDL levels in the blood, but the plaque of which 20% is consistently ... Read More
