A World Without Heart Attacks: How We Can Beat Heart Disease - And What Comes Next - Hardcover

The definitive guide to the end of cardiovascular disease-and the dawn of a new era of human health.

Heart disease is the greatest epidemic in human history, killing one person every 1.7 seconds worldwide. Despite all the advanced technology and surgical skill in modern medicine, our focus remains reactive-intervening with stents and bypasses only after the disease has been silently growing for decades. For pioneering preventive cardiologist Jeffrey L. Boone, MD, this status quo is unacceptable and, crucially, unnecessary.

In A World Without Heart Attacks, Dr. Boone, founder of the renowned Boone Heart Institute, delivers a revolutionary, four-part protocol to defeat heart disease in our lifetime. Drawing on decades of clinical practice with everyone from NFL legends to corporate executives, Dr. Boone reveals how we can finally win the war on the world's most fatal disease.

This groundbreaking book will show you how to:

• Uncover the True Threat: Learn to identify the root cause of heart disease-the painless-but-deadly buildup of arterial plaque-and discover the vital, non-standard imaging tests (like CIMT and CAC scores) that reveal the disease years before a heart attack.
• Identify Your Unique Risks: Understand the critical role of genetics and chronic stress-which Dr. Boone calls "the ultimate risk factor"-in triggering cardiac events.
• Master the Boone Heart Protocol: Access the aggressive, personalized combination of medications, supplements, and lifestyle changes proven to stop, stabilize, and even reverse arterial plaque.

Dr. Boone also looks beyond the immediate victory, exploring how the same protocol that protects your heart also safeguards your brain from dementia and cognitive decline, as well as promising results in the early prevention of many cancers. This is essential reading for every patient, family member, and healthcare professional ready to move past the age of reactive fixes and embrace a future where living to a healthy 100 is the new normal.
