Hidden Causes of Heart Attack and Stroke: Inflammation, Cardiology's New Frontier

by Christian Wilde, Peter Stokes (Editor), Rosamond Grupp (Editor)

With 50% of all heart attacks happening to people with normal cholesterol, the author devoted 5 years to researching and writing about the Hidden Causes that have been escaping physician examinations for decades. Undetected risk factors that can destroy a family's happiness and plans. It is arguably the most complete resource for detecting and neutralizing the hidden genetic and behavioral risk factors that claim lives. Endorsed by Directors of Cardiology at major universiites. "What Christian Wilde suggests today is destined to become standard medical practice in the next decade." Gregory Guldner, MD, MS, Director of Emergency Medicine and Residency, Loma Linda University.

My mother died from her first heart attack and my father from his second stroke so I have a high risk for both. I decided to check for anything that could help me understand causation, the tests and prevention. Especially, after I had a very high c-reactive protein result. This book covers everything that you could imagine and enables you to ask your doctors intelligent questions. It is easy to understand but also very detailed and answered my questions more than adequately. I think everyone with risk factors for heart disease and strong should get this book and read it now.

This book has some good information based on putting together findings of other people's research. It tends to read like an infomercial (We'll get to that in a minute, I just wanted to mention it so that you'll keep reading.) The most interesting thing is that cholesterol is not the only factor in heart disease and there are other things that can be monitored by relatively inexpensive tests. I do wonder if the author has stock in vitamin supplement companies!

Want to scare yourself into better health? Then this is a must read!
Turns out there's a lot more going on than high BP and cholesterol.
My doc had me on NSAIDs all day long, every day for chronic pain issues,
and after reading this, I no longer take any OTC NSAIDS on any type of regular
basis.
I borrowed this book from a friend for my husband's issues, but it scared me
straight too.

This is a must read if you want to save your life. Its well written almost like a text book. I honestly hate reading health books, all the same info. Not this one, it will open your eyes and scare you. My Military Dr tried to put me on statins at 55, but I refused and Dr said I am saving your life 10 years from now. I laughed, now I just read that all Dr should prescribe more statins earlier for those that might be at risk. Book goes into great simple details why. Please spend the few bucks and save yours or some else life. We all need to take more interest in out own lives before it to late. To much garbage food out there killing us. And google the omega juicer, if you want an awesome juicer i just started. Finally watch online joe cross, fat sick and nearly dead. I hope this review will hit home with someone and save their life! ,Just an Air Force guy...,
