Summary: Before It Happens to You: A Breakthrough Program for Reversi
Comment: Bernstein (director, clinical research and the Heart Failure Prevention Program, Northshore Hosp., Long Island, NY) provides a realistic take on treating early heart disease by lowering high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Given that heart disease is America's top killer and that most people will not change the lifestyle risks that could help prevent cardiovascular events, his prescription-that most adults over 40 "will be able to achieve optimal [cardiovascular] health by using a customized mix ofaspirin, statins, beta-blockers and/or ACE inhibitors"-makes sense. Under his plan, a few simple blood tests can help doctors determine which combination of medications works best for individual patients. Well written and well organized, Bernstein's book offers clear explanations of scientific research that will help public library patrons understand heart disease, diagnostic tests, and test results. Those looking for a book that emphasizes diet therapy for cardiovascular health should read John P. Cooke's The Cardiovascular Cure

Summary: Buy this book to save a life
Comment: Few books can change lives like this one will. Even fewer books can save a life. Give this as a gift to anyone who is ignoring the fact that his or her blood pressure or weight is a little high or that they have high cholesterol. This book explains it all in simple non-medical terms. The advice--if you can't successfully exercise and diet (and many of us can't), take the drugs, but don't ignore the numbers--is something to live by. One sour note--drugs can't do it all and shouldn't be expected to--there should be a more thorough explanation of how diet and exercise help or replace the need for drugs. I also wonder if the author has a large financial stock holding in drug companies.

Summary: Proactive health care
Comment: This is a clearly written, thought-provoking book that makes a compelling case for the proactive use of drug therapy to ward off heart disease. Bernstein's suggestions are practical and easy to follow, right down to advice as to how to discuss these ideas with a family doctor. A must-read for everyone who isn't content with the current state of reactive, status-quo health care as managed by insurance companies!
