Prevent, Halt & Reverse Heart Disease: 109 Things You Can Do
Original price was: $15.95.$9.16Current price is: $9.16.
When your doctor delivers the news—you have heart disease, which afflicts one in three Americans (an estimated 81 million people)—you need exactly the kind of indispensable, plainspoken advice found in Prevent, Halt & Reverse Heart Disease. You need Joe Piscatella. A lay expert who’s been lecturing to health professionals and Fortune 500 corporations for three decades, and who is one of the longest-lived survivors of bypass surgery— 41 years and counting—Piscatella shows how to take charge of one’s cardiac health in a bold yet simple, easily understandable way.
Created by Mr. Piscatella and Dr. Barry Franklin, one of the nation’s top cardiac rehab specialists, Prevent, Halt & Reverse Heart Disease was originally published in 2003 and is now completely revised and updated with the latest research on managing the #1 killer of American men and women. The book is divided into three sections: Cardiac Markers (10 of the most important risk factors are examined so that you can assess your risk and understand what the doctor is telling you); Life Skills (the 109 practical tips, from #3 increase your HDL level to #22 breathe deeply to #99 know your margarines to #109 floss your teeth); and Cardiac Basics (an explanation of contemporary tests and treatments). Throughout is information updated since the first edition, such as the recommended dose of baby aspirin per day, the importance of sleep, a smarter way to read food tables, the PLAC test, and more.

reference for post cabg patients and their families
Found this book on my local library’s recent purchase shelf. It is an excellent multipurpose manual for anyone with heart issues, or a wellness guide for preventive care. I purchased this for my good friend who had just undergone a CABGx2. Not only does it give an overall view of the vascular system, it offers diet, exercise, medication information, including side effects, alternative medicine sources and encouragement to the patient and family members. It would be a valued reference book for any family.

This is a complex subject that had experts giving conflicting information over the years. He does a great job in explaining in common language what has occurred over time and explains why taking specific steps will help you

You will NOT halt or reverse heart disease with advice in thsi book
This book contains a lot of good advice but the moderate approach detailed will not halt or reverse your heart disease. You may slow down the progression of heart disease but moderation will not be sufficient.Another problem with this book is it is like an encyclopedia of things you can do to treat heart disease. It lists everything and advises everything. It is not a focused approach that will help you.This is a good reference book but if you are suffering from heart disease or if you have a dangerous family history, you must follow a rigorous approach much like what Dr Esselstyn or Dr Dean Ornish advise. Otherwise you will soon be on the “assembly line” to the cath lab.

Antiquated advice on dealing with heart disease by focusing on reducing dietary cholesterol as well as using toxic statin drugs.

Bought as a gift for my father who has heart disease – he has found it an interesting read, but some of the information is a bit behind the current thinking on diet.
