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?

A How To Guide To A Healthier Heart
The author of this book, Dr. Warrick Bishop, is an Australian practicing cardiologist who has created a program called “The Healthy Heart Network” to help people manage their risk of heart attack better. 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. His writing style for this book is easy to follow and understand for the layman, which I appreciated.
He starts out by explaining the components and functions of the heart. From there he goes into detail how plaque is formed in the arteries and then how to detect, monitor and if appropriate, treat it. To this end he advocates primary prevention of heart disease and outlines the steps he recommends to accomplish this.
Once you have read this book, you will be in a better educated position to advocate for your heart health while having a discussion with your doctor.

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.

This Book Could Save Your Life!
Coronary heart disease, the number one killer in America and a serious human health risk in other countries, is greatly affected by unwise and unconsciously dangerous lifestyle choices. Additionally, there may be hidden associations leading to cardiovascular disease. These hidden associations can be revealed by using imagining technology in a preventive way to reduce your risk for having a cardiac event.
Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, specializes in looking inside the working heart using non-invasive imaging technology. Dr. Bishop wants you to know how to live the healthiest lifestyle that can reduce or greatly eliminate cardiovascular disease factors.
He also wants you to know that though there might be a family history of heart disease, that does not mean that you are a high risk for having a heart attack. It takes doing detective work to find out what’s really going on inside you to determine the state of your cardiovascular system.
His book focuses on primary preventative cardiology. He is sincerely interested in sharing information about how you can prevent yourself from developing factors that lead up to a primary cardiac event. Prevent factors that cause heart disease and you live a longer, happier, more productive life!
Dr. Bishop’s research suggests that some people in the same family can stop worrying about their cardiovascular disease risk factors. Guessing (and wrongly assuming) that because your family’s history of heart disease means you definitely will get it, too, may be a completely inaccurate assumption. If this worry keeps you awake at night, asking your cardiologist to read Dr. Bishop’s book might help you sleep better at night!
Your fears can be reduced (or perhaps confirmed and preventively dealt with prior to an event occurring) by using non-invasive imaging technology. Preventively using imaging technology can reveal what’s happening in your heart right now, before you might have a heart attack.
The information revealed by using imagining technology before an event occurs allows a cardiovascular management strategy based exactly on what’s revealed from a scan rather than on guesses. By seeing what’s really going on in your heart via images, you can eliminate the unnecessary need for some medications or perhaps do what’s necessary to prevent a heart attack.
Dr. Bishop’s way of working with patient’s is different than the way a lot of cardiologists practice their art and talent. His preventative focus using imaging technology BEFORE symptoms appear can actually help extend and improve your life now!
I found this book to be very interesting. Filled with pictures, scientific references, case studies and more, you can easily understand why he takes the approach he does to practicing cardiovascular medicine. Dr. Bishop doesn’t seem to be the type of cardiologist who is interested in being considered an expert just because he’s a doctor. He backs up his findings by sharing what he’s learned. And, he also seems to walk his talk. That’s pretty cool!
He truly takes an individual approach with his patients rather than a “population-at-large, statistically-speaking” approach in medicine. I applaud him for the way he has shared the results of his findings. He seems to truly be interested in helping educate you, the patient, so you can make an informed decision about your cardiovascular health management choices. He suggests things you can do now to improve your cardiovascular health management strategy plan for a happier and healthier future.
Even if you are currently cardiovascularly asymptomatic, toxic accumulations in your body’s inner systems could already internally be building up. Preventative medicine, which includes doing physical body detective work, lifestyle choices, imagining technology and medications (as applicable) can reverse, effectively manage or perhaps prevent you from creating your own heart disease. If you are an advocate of wanting to possibly prevent or avoid creating a disease-creating internal environment, this book just might save your life! I would recommend this book to anyone concerned about their cardiovascular health and is open to taking a natural and reasonable approach to managing their health.
