Publisher's Synopsis
Many successful career-driven people lead lifestyles that put them on the fast track for heart disease-today's number-one killer. Too often these individuals will suffer fatal heart attacks without any warning, even though their routine medical exams appeared normal and their doctors had assured them they weren't at risk. Dead Execs Don't Get Bonuses offers eye-opening insights about why this occurs and why it need never happen again. Busy people who don't think they have time for extensive health evaluations also don't have time for a heart attack. Best-selling author and cardiologist Joel Kahn describes how heart-disease prevention can be built into an active lifestyle and shows how early detection is possible. Readers will explore the various medical tests that can protect their lives and careers, learn how to prevent heart disease in the first place, and discover which lifestyle changes are the most effective at reversing cardiovascular disease once it's begun. Readers get a comprehensive understanding of the facts about heart disease and learn about symptoms that are indicators of potential heart problems. Dr. Kohn shows how heart disease prevention can be built into an active lifestyle through plant-based anti-aging nutrition and integrative medicine. Standard physical examinations are inadequate for determining heart disease; readers are advised on life-saving medical tests that show early detection.
