Track Your Plaque: The Only Heart Disease Prevention Program That Shows How to Use the New Heart Scans to Detect, Track and Control Coronary Plaque
It's a sad fact: 90% of all heart disease goes undetected until heart attack strikes.
An annual physical won't uncover it, you may feel great, exercise and eat intelligently, your LDL cholesterol may be 92 or 192--it makes little difference. Then how can you predict your heart's future? Do you need a crystal ball?
Well, you don't have a crystal ball. But you have the next best thing: Track Your Plaque, the program that shows you how to use the new heart scans to measure and control coronary plaque. Coronary plaque is heart disease that leads to heart attack. If you know you have hidden coronary plaque and how much, you have the power to take control of your heart health future. Quantifying the amount of plaque you have is the most powerful measure available to predict future heart attack, far better than knowing your cholesterol.
The revolutionary program that shows you how to begin to take control of your heart's future now!
Track Your Plaque is a 3-step program that shows how you can:
1) Detect and measure coronary plaque easily and inexpensively
2) Identify the causes of your coronary plaque with methods that go far beyond simple-minded cholesterol measures
3) Effectively treat the causes and gain control of your plaque
Track Your Plaque reaches farther than any other available program and can provide life-changing information to seize control of your future.

Great read - eye opening:
I am a physician. I thought the book was a great read. Whether Heart Scanning is practical or not, I am not sure. However, the extended lipid analysis is important and will become more of a standard of care in the future. Whatever a heart scan shows, every America should eat healthy. A heart scan would be beneficial in scaring someone to get fit and eat healthy. The author's blog is one of my favorite site. Kudos to him.
Bye Bye heart disease! hello breast cancer:
An informative book but leaves the following out: 1. It is an advertisement for the service in an interesting way ( you pay the cost by purchasing the book) 2. It does not emphasize the point that a heart scan is EBCT scan and not an MDCT scan. Lately allot of cardiology practices have been advertising MDCT scan which involves a huge radiation and kidney damage risk from the contrast used. Yes lets prevent heart disease and increase breast cancer! 3. EBCT scan is a way of assessing risk and... more info
got book too late.....:
I am one of the people in my mid 50's whose father had by-pass surgery in his 70's. I had low cholesterol, low blood pressure, exercised and ate very healthy food. I started to have unstable angina, and no one would believe that it was my heart, they said that was impossible. I ended up in the ER, had a stent put in and Re-stenosed (re-blocked) from the stent, then was forced to have Bypass surgery. No one could tell me why these things were happening. They put me on Lipitor even tho my cholesterol was not... more info
Excellent presentation of complex material and has a happy ending!:
This book is fascinating. Tough science written in a friendly, accurate and motivating manner. I can think of few books that cover the depth of lipid biochemistry and heart disease in language that is understood by the non-science readers. I not only found the diet and supplements advise stimulating and convincing (and I'm a nutritionist!), but I have started to incorporate some of these concepts when I advise my subjects and patients at Rush who need to make positive health changes. Furthermore, I was... more info
