Publishers Text

A leading cardiologist and the author of the international bestseller The South Beach Diet presents the truth about cardiac care in this country and offers his call to action for preventing heart attacks and strokes.


Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in this country. This year alone 865,000 people will have a new or recurrent heart attack and another 600,000 will have a stroke. The shocking fact is that the majority of heart attacks and strokes can be prevented with the medical knowledge we already possess. Yet this isn't happening. Why Because too many doctors and hospitals don't support aggressive prevention, relying instead on invasive procedures such as angioplasties and bypasses for a significant portion of their income.


In his most personal and passionate book yet, Dr. Arthur Agatston, who has helped millions of people find a healthy lifestyle, champions a revolution in heart disease prevention that will enable people to actually save their own lives. Drawing upon more than 30 years as a practicing cardiologist, he details the key elements of his four-part South Beach Heart Program:

  • Heart-healthy eating, following the principles of The South Beach Diet
  • Heart-healthy functional fitness, including cardio and core exercises
  • State-of-the-art advanced blood testing and heart imaging
  • Heart-protective medications, as necessary

Dr. Agatston's patients have thrived as a result of this aggressive prevention strategy. Now, with expert advice from a doctor they have learned to trust, the American public can join his prevention revolution and take the necessary steps to protect their hearts and live longer and healthier lives.
