Not only is this book written in “patient” language, it’s also very interesting and moves along faster than any of the others. It doesn’t preach, just presents, but in a caring fashion. I keep saying, “I didn’t know that” when discussing it with a friend because it keeps on finding out this and that and testing this and that. Pretty soon we’ll all be living to 105.
Buy it for a friend who has heart disease – or for yourself. Even non-readers will probably find this book fascinating.

I have been reading a lot of books on medical matters. The titles in general are always very promising but the content deceives from time to time. Not this time. This book is a must read for everybody, CVA-diseased people but even more for healthy people. I should recommend it also to every doctor. Not only in the States but certainly in Europe where medicine is based on treating the symptoms. That’s old stuff. Prevention is what the population needs and that’s what this book is all about.
A very sincere congratulation for the authors of this fantastic work.

I have been reading alternative & conventional texts for years and what I found is that when I had lots of health problems the conventional medicine only works to get you out of immediate danger but does not address underlying problems or corrections, and treats symptoms only.
After turning 50 I decided I needed to read this book and found it to be a wealth of information. Thanks to this book I went out and found an “intergrative” doctor who did these extra tests and found my LPa’s were >300, Normal is below 30 (even though other cholesterol numbers were good). This means I’m a walking time bomb for blood clots to brain or heart. By using L-lysine, curcumin and natkonise my numbers are 45 after 2 months. Conventional doctors don’t do these extra tests because there are no drugs to fix LPa’s. By reading this book, going to find an intergrative doctor, (one trained as MD & then gets extra training in alternative medicine)I believe I will live longer,(survival rates are low for blood clots to brain or heart). My new doctor has also helped me with numerous other ailments an I feel better than I did 10 years ago.
Thank you Dr. Sinatra. If I had not read your book I would never have known about the LPa’s. You saved my life!

When Dr. Oz, a frequent guest on Oprah, describes this book as “a comprehensive and accessible guide to stop the rusting of our arteries so we can live longer and better” one needs to take a second look. Whether you have heart disease or you are trying to prevent it, Reverse Heart Disease Now offers useful and practical tips.
One of my favorite lines in the book tells about how patients always tend to listen AFTER their heart attack! Another point made is how blood donation can help the donor. Who knew? The doctors talk about the benefits of CoQ10, Magnesium, D-Ribose and L-Carnitine as well as the PAM Diet which is the best of Pan Asian and Mediterranean food.

Having been on his program for 3 months I have normal numbers! I had been told that there was nothing more that they could do. I had 4 heart attacks with bypass surgery and stents put in to save my life. I went from an A1C of 12 down to 7.1 in three months with strick diet and many many supplements but it’s working.I had been taking every diabetic pill and insulin known to man to no avail. My heart related tests are normal after being over by hundreds. They gave great advise you have to be in charge of your own health what works and doesn’t. I am thankful and highly recommend the book.

This cardiologist has written what is probably the most accurate and up to date (as of 2007) book on heart disease and how to prevent/reverse it. This guy definitely knows his stuff! I’ve studied heart disease for over 20 years and this is the best, most informative, and most accurate book I’ve ever seen! This guy knows his stuff!

I was recently diagnosed at the age of 41 with congestive heart failure. It came on fast, and I was not prepared for it. I have been researching on the internet the procedures, drugs, and supplements that might be effective in treating my condition, but the information is all over the place and difficult to bring together. In “Reverse Heart Disease Now”, there is a lot of information on suppplements as well as conventional therapy, with excellent suggestions on dosages and what benefits might be expected. I read the book all of the way through and gained a better understanding of my own condition. In these days of fast and prepared food, stress, polution, etc. having this knowledge is a must even if there are no symptoms. I wish that I had come across this book 5 years earlier!

It’s too bad this book won’t be read by every primary care physician and every cardiologist and every patient with heart disease, but it should be. The collaboration of two leading edge cardiologists has resulted in a book full of the latest approaches to managing plaques and heart disease. This book moves beyond Dr. Sinatra’s first classic, The Sinatra Solution, and focuses on the problem of plaque build-up in your arteries. The latest theory of inflammation as the cause of hardening of the arteries, as well as many other chronic illnesses is addressed here with dietary changes, supplements, and medications. For example, when to use statins alongside the natural supplements for reducing cholesterol and other risk factors for plaque formation is clearly discussed. It’s wonderful to read what these two doctors do for their patients outside the box set by the FDA in defining the indications for prescription medications. From my own experience their approaches do work for many people. I will be recommending this book to many patients and featuring it on my website.

Even when I was in great shape, riding a bike 130 miles a week, my HDL was dangerously low and my HDL/LDL ratio was awful–it runs in the family. More recently, when the side-effects of statins forced me to quit taking them, my ratio got even worse. One of the websites I consulted about statin side-effects mentioned Dr. Sinatra, and after reading what he had to say about CoQ10 and statins, I bought this book about a month ago.
It’s too soon to know if the recommended diet and supplements, combined with the exercise I was already doing, will help, but so far, it looks good. Niacin can double HDL, but when I tried it before, it made my skin so dry it bled. That hasn’t happened this time, presumably because of the other supplements, like fish oil, recommended by the book. My family doctor had recommended niacin, but not fish oil, CoQ10, or the other supplements that Dr. Sinatra uses. But when I asked my doctor about CoQ10, he admitted it might be helpful when taking statins. And when I’ve asked the two MDs in the family about things I’ve read in the book–CRP, Lp(a), corony calcium testing, etc.,–they always confirm what Dr. Sinatra wrote.
I can’t imagine this book won’t be helpful to almost anyone concerned with cardiovascular health.
Follow-up report: Last week I met with a local cardiologist to discuss bloodwork done the week before. Two months after reading this book and acting on its recommendations, and without taking statins, my HDL was up 41%, my LDL down 27%, and my total cholesterol/HDL ratio down 40%. The local cardiologist also reviewed the dozen or so supplements I’m taking based on the book, and apart from switching me to the prescription form of niacin, also recommended by Dr. Sinatra, he saw no reason to change anything I was taking. This is a great book.
