Track Your Plaque

by William Davis

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.

As someone with satisfactory 'test scores' regarding heart disease issues but a lot of history of hardening of the arteries in my family, I have been reading a lot about it and this book, IMO (and I'm not a doctor or a scientist) is a gift. It explains why you can have significant plaque build up and yet have perfectly good cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc. and have a heart attack out of the blue that no AMA doctor saw coming. It explains better than any other book I've read so far exactly what plaque is and how it's made, and what habits contribute to its formation, And it not only explains how you can actually reduce you plaque build up and improve the health of your arteries, it tells how you can check to see if the remedies you're using are actually working. I think this book is a gem. I'd recommend that everyone read it only I know they won't. But I plan to read it several times and act on it. Because I am one smart cookie.

This book did explain the plaque test score numbers well, but it basically recommends lots of testing to track the plaque and did not really give a lot of new or wonderful advice about how to keep the plaque down.
