Heart attack and stroke, collectively known as cardiovascular disease, is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and throughout the world. The good news - cardiovascular disease is virtually preventable with a healthy lifestyle and medications (if needed). I have dedicated my career as a board certified cardiologist to the treatment, prevention and eradication of heart attack. This site is designed for those seeking information regarding the latest approaches to treat and prevent cardiovascular disease. Feel free to read the articles, listen to the radio shows, watch the videos and gain information that will allow you to discuss the latest heart disease prevention strategies with your personal treating physcian. Finally, learn how you can become virtually heart attack proof by getting the new lab (blood) tests that have been shown to uncover the hidden risk of heart disease and then discussing the appropriate lifestyle intervention and medical therapy to correct the metabolic abnormalities that may be present. Become proactive and begin a prevention strategy before it's too late - heart disease can be prevented!
Wishing you a heart-healthy life,
