Publishers Text

Bayan, who suffered a massive heart attack at the age of 45, is among the 20 percent of heart attack victims in their thirties and forties who carry the Heartstopper gene. Working closely with medical professionals researching the phenomenon, Bayan developed an effective, targeted treatment program that includes a diet higher in certain kinds of fats, medication (including large doses of niacin), exercise and stress management. Bayan explains how the gene can be detected through a simple blood test, provides information on discovering the fat content of a wide variety of foods, and presents charts to help readers monitor their fat intake. At once a fascinating, medical memoir and a practical handbook, this is must reading for anyone concerned about their cardiac health.
