Thorough Information But More Terms and Medical Jargon than I Expected
I respect the author's extensive research and expertise about the heart. The book was packed with information--but I couldn't embrace it. I was looking forward to receiving info that spoke to me as a layman. From the title alone, I expected more clear and, dare I say, more entertaining guidance and advice. I'm not a medical expert so when the text jumped right into the bulk medical jargon--, it just simply wasn't what I expected. After some personal research, I will tackle it again.
Full Disclosure: The author provided me with an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure - Easy Read
The book is clear, concise, and lays out a plan to be proactive in preventing a heart attack. It was quite easy to follow and understand. This comprehensive book will not only serve as a wake-up call for many but also save lives. I now have an interest in a CCTI where I didn't before.
The book explains the functions of the heart and how plaque is formed in the arteries and then how to detect and treat it. His primary focus, of course, is on prevention of heart disease and how you can accomplish that.
I feel much more comfortable talking to my doctor about this subject. I am much more prepared to hold an honest and informative discussion.
I also think that he didn't write to his potential reader base. Americans will not comprehend most of the notations for the lipid panel values. Might have noted American notations as well. He lost me there throughout.

The result of this is a book he wrote which is clear, concise, and lays out a plan to be proactive in preventing a heart attack.
