What Is This Book About?

As a cardiologist, I have not yet met a patient who expected to have a problem; patients do not put into their diaries “possible problem with my heart next week”. Yet, what if we could be forewarned about, or prepared for, a potential problem with our coronary arteries? … What if we could plan NOT to have heart attack?

Taking a picture of the coronary arteries using CT (computed tomography – x-rays are deflected at very high speed using enormous magnets to acquire images that are then reconstructed) to see the health of the arteries, is not new, it just isn't done routinely. Yet, by using these advances specialists, GPs and patients can be ahead of the cardiovascular health game.

Prevention is best

This is an essential and readable book on an important predictor of future heart disease (calcium building up in the coronary arteries). It explains clearly why we need more information than your cholesterol and your lifestyle, and why some 'healthy' people have an early heart attack. A better title might be 'Have you planned how to prevent your heart attack' of course.
I am a U.K. based doctor, and know that an increasing number of units use cardiac CT as part of their work-up of patients who have already shown symptoms. The question is whether the test should be extended to those without symptoms and with lower levels of risk on our standard tests, both as reassurance and as an adjunct to efficient primary prevention.
This book makes the case perfectly.

Very important information!

I found this book thought very provoking. It presents how the one of the most important indicators of poor Heart Health is overlooked by most health professionals. It is a must if you would like to understand how to discover your own level of heart attack risk.

Excellent evaluation process to avoid harmful medicines and know your real risk

Dr. Bishop exploits the Calcium Score scanning to make sure all patients get the safest and most appropriate treatment for their unique characteristics. This book has been a tremendous help to me in negotiating the best course of action for my wife and I. The doctors are hell bent on sticking to the age old guidelines from the institutions. Having this information allowed me to make sound medically valid arguments, and get the tests we really need.
