The South Beach Heart Program, by Arthur Agatston

Written by the well known and reknowned author of the South Beach Diet books this book is a 4 step plan that can help save your life. Part 1 of the book is about our health care system that relies way too much on procedures to fix things that happen such as a heart attack or stroke, and why doctors are paid more to treat disease than to prevent it. Angioplasty and Bypass surgery are a multi billion dollar industry in the USA. In part 2 he presents his Heart Program which is designed to identify and prevent problems before they become life threatening. There is much about the newest and latest research about the how and why of heart attacks. If you have a family history of heart disease, or have high cholesterol/high blood pressure, you need to read this book!
