Lipsky MD, Dr. Marla Mendelson MD, Dr. Stephen Havas MD and Dr. Martin Miller MD. This is a cardiac patient-oriented book. Its purpose is to explain the different forms of heart and related vascular diseases. The book also provides guidelines and strategies to prevent heart attacks and treat or prevent the disease. The scope of this authoritave book is extensive. The 336 pages cover the symptoms, the treatment and prevention of the disease and give a description of the medication used. Some chapters are dedicated to lifetyle changes, the control of blood cholesterol levels, the control of blood pressure, inflammation and nutrition. For a patient who has been recently diagnosed with coronary heart disease or a person who wishes to learn how to prevent it and does not know where to start in the information gathering process, hM strongly recommends starting with this book. The A.M.A. heart specialists who wrote this book had two goals in mind: to provide clear, easy-to-understand, basic and essential information about coronary heart disease and to clearly present the best ways you can care for coronary heart disease, CHD (coronary artery disease, CAD). http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#1 http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#2 Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease has been written by one of the of the most renowned cardiologists at the Cleveland Clinic: Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn MD. Doctor. Esselstyn (who's name is often spelled or misspelled as Esseltsyn) is a key figure, a pioneer, in what is now described as coronary heart disease reversal. His book is also a kind of hybrid, for it starts as an information-rich book and, so as to provide examples, ends as a cookbook. Dr. Esselstyn's strict diet is for the determined heart disease fighter. The purpose of his work is to go beyond prevention and aim at actually reversing the ailment. His diet is somewhat more restrictive and is definitely plant-based, vegan-like. However his patient's performance at beating and reversing heart disease is outstanding. The conclusions of the famous "China Report" had already indicated that such an approach would succeed. With real heart patients, it did also succeed; as one can see by examining the angiograms provided by Doctor Esselstyn. Based on the groundbreaking results of a twenty-year nutritional study by Dr. Esselstyn, a preeminent researcher and clinician, this book illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, Dr. Esselstyn's patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms. Complete with more than 150 delicious, very-low-fat, vegetarian recipes, this book explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. It will empower heart patients and readers to take control of their heart health. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#3 http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#4 Pathophysiology of Heart Disease is a collaborative project of medical students and Faculty.

This AHA, 720 page, cookbook features 600 heart-friendly recipes. There are no words of ours to express how much we agree with the heart health principles that are at the basis of this cookbook. It features a wide variety of recipes, from old Americana family-style cooking to ethnic cuisine. It emphasizes a large intake of vegetables and whole grains, the use of non-fat, very-low fat or low-fat ingredients. These are often used to produce healthier recipe versions of old-time American favorites. The recipes are poor in sugar and added sodium. These recipes come with a nutritional analysis table. The book has been updated to reflect the use of non-fat and low-fat ingredients that didn't exist just a few years ago. Recipes include appetizers, snacks, beverages, soups, salads, entrées (seafood, poultry, meat, vegetarian), vegetables, side dishes, sauces, breads, breakfasts, and, of course, desserts. Many are healthier versions of old favorites. Most recipes reflect AHA guidelines: no more than 30 percent total fat, 8 to 10 percent saturated fat, less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day; plenty of vegetables and grains; and moderate sugar and sodium. Some recipes are higher in fat, but you balance those with lower-fat recipes on other days of the week. Nutritional information includes calories, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated, mono-unsaturated), fiber, and sodium. Recipes written and complied by the heart experts at the AHA. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#6 Heal Your Heart: How You Can Prevent or Reverse Heart Disease was written by Dr. K. Lance Gould MD. - University of Texas Medical School at Houston. This book has been written in order to present means to reverse coronary artery disease due to atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries supplying the heart muscle. Dr. Gould proposes a "combination therapy" to cardiac patients. He advocates going on a very-low-fat diet and using cholesterol lowering drugs such as the statins to decrease LDL-Cholesterol levels in the blood. He proposes the use of P.E.T. scans to monitor the patient's regression (or progression) of coronary plaque. We have published an article in the heartMonitron Nutrition Journal showing actual PET scans illustrating the far improved perfusion of the heart muscle after a few years of this type of therapy. Doctor Gould's book may not be easy to read, but is one of the best and the benefits or rewards are well worth your effort. Dr. K. Lance Gould's goals are better survival and improved health through the prevention and reversal of heart and vascular disease. His program provides do-it-yourself steps and explores options beyond traditional medical procedures for more definitive solutions. "Heal Your Heart" can be used by anyone. Scientific information and practical guidelines are presented in full-color illustrations and tables with nontechnical text that incorporate the most recent medical knowledge. Throughout the book, Doctor Gould outlines what questions to ask medical staff and how to manage your own reversal program. The principles of reversing cardiovascular disease may be adapted to various lifestyles and personalities. This program avoids multiple medical consultations and special equipment. The essentials are healthy living habits combined with medical management at home and work. For the minority of patients who may need balloon dilation or bypass surgery, Dr. Gould's reversal program will provide optimal outcome by dramatically lowering further risk. For most heart patients, this program produces a sense of well-being and reduces or eliminates symptoms. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#7 The Betty Crocker Cookbook, Heart Health Edition, by Betty Crocker Editors.

A well-known and internationally recognized surgical oncologist, Doctor Marc Wallack kept fit by training as an avid marathoner. He was the rock of his family, at the top of his career, and an expert on health who practiced what he preached-until he suffered angina symptoms while on a run in Central Park. Two days later, after discovering his arteries were 95 percent blocked, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery and later found himself unprepared for the emotional fallout of his recovery. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_041.htm#9 The DASH Diet for Hypertension is recommended by the American Heart Association. It has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure in two weeks without the use of drugs. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet emphasizes wholesome foods: fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy; includes moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and nuts; and reduces consumption of red meat and sweets. Studies from the National Institutes of Health followed 800 participants and found that the DASH diet lowered blood pressure as much as typical medication. This is no quirky diet - it's the way the major medical groups have been advising us to eat all along, but with a specific formula that tells you how many servings to eat from each Food Pyramid food group. You also get suggestions for exercising moderately, losing weight, reducing salt, and food shopping. Included are two weeks of daily menus and 62 recipes, with modified favorites like Macaroni and Cheese and Sweet and Sour Pork with Vegetables, plus innovative dishes such as Mango/Black Bean Salad with Grilled Shrimp and Sweet-Potato Chips (baked). The authors are medical hypertension experts associated with Harvard and Duke medical centers. Recommended by the American Heart Association for people who want to lower their blood pressure or just eat more healthfully. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030CVQAI?ie=UTF8&tag=heartmonitr02-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0030CVQAI Mon, 25 Oct 2010 15:00:19 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030CVQAI?ie=UTF8&tag=heartmonitr02-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0030CVQAI#10 Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late By Sinatra, James C.
