Foreword
We have made tremendous strides in our treatment of heart and vascular disease over the past decade. Catheter-based techniques are utilized to open occluded coronary arteries, replace heart valves, place stents in aortic aneurysms, and even remove clots from arteries in the brain to treat acute strokes. However, despite the great benefits of interventional techniques, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for men and women both in the United States and worldwide. Dr. Michael Ozner, a renowned preventive cardiologist, presents a new approach to prevent cardiovascular disease. This pathway to heart health relies on a healthy lifestyle with optimal nutrition and regular exercise. It also includes maintaining optimal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides to prevent coronary heart disease. Recent clinical research has emerged that now allows physicians to utilize new medications in addition to lifestyle intervention to safely achieve low levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. This novel approach has been shown to stabilize, reverse, and in some cases, eradicate the buildup of fatty deposits in our artery walls called atherosclerotic plaques and thereby lower the risk of heart attack and other vascular catastrophes. This new book provides the reader with easy to understand basics of the underlying problems and importantly presents a clear pathway to heart health. I congratulate Dr. Ozner for introducing a proactive heart disease prevention plan to all interested in achieving optimal health and longevity.
