Summary:

Two innovative cardiologists, with a combined fifty years of experience, share their clinical insights on how to stop, reverse, and prevent the arterial inflammation and plaque that cause heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. They cover the latest testing, supplements, medication, and lifestyle breakthroughs and give unbiased recommendations about which conventional and alternative treatments work the best--or don't work. They go far beyond mere cholesterol reduction, and address the new risk factors of cardiovascular disease and the safe and effective nutritional solutions for them. Readers get two cardiologists and one opinion, disease-beating practical advice to overcome America's No. 1 medical killer.--From publisher description.
