Beyond Cholesterol - Tapa blanda

The latest scientific research has discovered that cholesterol levels are not the definitive indicator of heart disease risk. In fact, there are seven tests that can reveal much about the state of the heart and cardiovascular system. Dr. Torelli explains what the tests are, what they reveal, and how to get them. He also includes information on women's heart health and dietary and lifestyle factors that impact heart disease. "Beyond Cholestrol" includes information on: C-Reactive Protein; Homocysteine; Ferritin; Calcium Heart Scan; Fibrinogen; Fasting Insulin; Lipoprotein(a) Cholesterol tests are valuable but they don't tell the whole story. This book explains how to get the most important information needed to stop heart disease in its tracks.
