Advice on heart disease prevention from author and leading cardiologist Arthur Agatston, MD.
A study presented at the American College of Cardiology meeting and published online in the New England Journal of Medicine
has raised questions about whether the majority of people treated with a
popular invasive procedure to reduce chest pain actually need the
surgery. This study is turning up the spotlight on noninvasive
prevention rather than surgical intervention, just as Dr. Arthur
Agatston, preventive cardiologist and author of The South Beach Diet®
does in his book The South Beach Heart Program. According to
Dr. Agatston, who has been practicing aggressive prevention for many
years, "this study is further evidence that we have been doing too much
intervention and not enough prevention."
