Clear understandable information

I am a fit 80 year old male. I run every second day, and when I suffered atrial flutter of the heart, I was pretty shocked. I had little understanding of heart issues. I found the book an easy read, and it has given me a useful understanding of how the heart behaves, and most importantly, the risk factors that I had pretty much taken for granted. Thoroughly recommended.

Save Your Life with a painless test

Anyone interested in longevity and that's all of us, you need to read this book. No matter if your fit and healthy or obese, heart health does not discriminate. Do you think you are infallible ? Well think again. If you follow Dr. Warrick Bishop recommendations you will thank him from the bottom of your heart. If you selected your own parents prior to inception and have no genetic heart disease in your family well then congratulations. For the rest of us, that's everyone, you should read this book as a priority especially if you are approaching 40 years of age and have the genes. It is never too late for all of us, genetics or not, to have it done at least once in your life. It might save your life.

Good news or not so good news

If you have a heart, this book is for you. Although the content of the book might have a measurable impact on the medical and medical insurance industries, it has been written for the man and woman in the street. The book does not make use of scare tactics, but rather educates the reader in a logical and structured manner. The message is simple, there is CT scanning technology available today that can inform the patient whether he or she is at risk of having a heart attack in the next 5 to 10 years. This informs the patient of a possible incident before it happens. The CT scanning approach to heart care moves the patient (you and me) away from statistical analysis (high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, family history, etc.) to specific knowledge about the condition of the patient heart, Good news or not so good news, wouldn't you want to know? Read the book.
