Inflammation to Risk Factors

For many years, doctors knew that certain risk factors -- high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL), smoking and obesity -- increased the probability of a stroke or heart attack...but they were uncertain exactly why. Now they know that inflammation is the key ingredient.

In the coming years, you will hear much more about the effect that inflammation has on the risk of stroke and heart attack. You'll also hear about the new inflammatory risk factors of C-Reactive Protein and fibrinogen. But there's no need to wait! Read The Heart Attack Germ now and learn how you can lower your risk of stroke and heart attack by detecting and reducing inflammation in your arteries!

BOOK REVIEWS AND READER COMMENTS

Five Star Reader Review From Amazon.com:

Highly Informative & Helpful, June 1, 2003

Reviewer: A reader
"The Heart Attack Germ" packs a wealth of information into its pages. I'd read a little about the idea that infection causes (or at least may contribute to) heart disease, but I couldn't find a book on the topic until I came across this one. The authors tell you everything you need to know about this new theory and the research data that support it. There's also a detailed section on exactly what your doctor is looking for during an office visit - all those mysterious things like patting your back and telling you to cough are explained in detail. The book is well-written, in a breezy, conversational style with a sense of humor. If you want to know more about this emerging new view of heart disease and what it may mean for you, I recommend "The Heart Attack Germ."
