"Heart Disease" What You Need To Know To Understand And Reduce Your Risk...
#1 International Best Seller!
What Is This Audio 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 a heart attack?
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.

High Cholesterol - what we need to know
I'm no medic but this book gave me the information I had been looking for. High cholesterol doesn't automatically mean statins for life - there are alternatives to be explored. Containing enough medical information for those who want that level, the book was easy enough to follow for those of us who aren't so bothered! Dr Warrick Bishop clearly has a passion for getting heart scans accepted into mainstream medicine and reading this book you can see why. As the subtitle of the book says, ' this book may save your life'. Well worth a read before your first heart attack!

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.

Well worth reading
Glad I bought this book. It contains a lot of useful information for the layman supported by case studies. Dr. Bishop’s message is all about stopping people from having cardio problems in the first place. It reminded me of the old maxim “ an ounce of prevention is better than a ton of cure”.

Being informed and proactive may save your life
Doctor Warrick Bishop is passionate about his field. With this can come a certainty that can be off-putting to those with a different view. He doesn’t let this deter him. I found his treatment clear, succinct and built on a solid experiential and medical basis. The almost confrontational title of his book, “Have You Planned Your Heart Attack?” captures the no-nonsense approach he has to this topic. Put simply, whilst many doctors play it safe using solely traditional diagnostic approaches, with these supported by the Australian Medicare system, Doctor Warrick successfully explains why more modern analytical tools, such as using a computed tomography coronary angiogram, that is available via referral on his website through to most radiologists, can identify potentially terminal heart issues that are not detected using the traditional approach. His book is beautifully put together and presented, with great illustrations and written in simple language. For anyone who wants to know more about this area of their health, I highly recommend Doctor Warrick’s work and books.
