Heart attacks are not worth dying for / Michael Ozner, M.D.

Summary:

In America, we have some of the best doctors and hospitals worldwide. Despite this, there are more than 800,000 deaths in the United States each year due to cardiovascular disease, namely heart attack and stroke. The good news is that we now have the ability to prevent heart disease with healthy lifestyle choices and highly effective medications when needed. There needs to be a paradigm shift in our medical approach-we need to become proactive and prevent heart disease rather than reactive and wait for this formidable enemy to strike. Heart Attacks-Are Not Worth Dying For provides a straightforward pathway for heart disease prevention. Don't wait-the time to act is now.
