Summary: Antique Thinking from 1984. Idle Banging to an Old Tune
Comment: This book was obsolete a year ago. The current cutting-edge medical literature does not sing the same tune as the author does. The author owns a big cholesterol laboratory/clinic. New studies, to the consternation of the big anti-lipid pill sellers, are showing that we have all been "mis-informed" and that "bad cholesterol" is not our primary problem, but is just a side-nuisance and certainly not the cause of heart disease as it has been touted in the past! It is not our lipid levels that cause heart disease....it is our bodies' inflammatory-response to a lifelong infectious process. Read the book just written called: Has Heart Disease Been Cured? by Mulhall to get the real scoop. Now that book is cutting edge! You can buy the book here at Amazon.com

Summary: Contains a major flaw
Comment: The major contribution of this book is listing and describing metabolic markers for heart disease other than cholesterol.
The major flaw of the book is that he recommends pretty much the standard AHA diet of 30% fat for those persons whose markers (other than cholesterol) are normal. That diet will not stop continued stenosis of the coronary arteries (plaque buildup). The only way to stop plaque buildup in the coronary arteries, as demonstrated by angiographic evidence (the gold standard that looks at flow in the arteries) is the very low fat diet, plus high fiber, low sugar, that reduces cholesterol below 150. The experimental evidence that is persuasive has been done by Dean Ornish, MD, and Caldwell Esselstyn, MD. Of course, Nathan Pritikin (a chemist) was the grandfather of this diet. His autopsy showed his arteries were clear of plaque.
The author states that a very low fat diet for some people will bring about LDL Pattern B. First, that will not happen with all people. Second, the evidence of the benefits of a very low fat, low sugar, high fiber diet, is far stronger than the studies on the danger of LDL Pattern B with such a diet.

Summary: Layman's Guide to Latest Heart Testing and Treatment
Comment: I've been looking for this kind of book for years. With a family history, high cholesterol and adverse reaction to statin's I needed help in understanding what's going on in detail and what are my non-invasive treatment alternative's.
This book helps you find the answers by giving you a short basic test and then providing simple instruction of how to take it to the next level for an individualized "cardiac fingerprint". Instead of just the basic cholesterol exam it explains in layman's terms the most important tests to request and their meaning.
I plan to share this one with my doctor as well as the entire family.
