INTRODUCTION

W hy did this happen to me?

I often hear this question from my patients after they W W have suffered a heart attack, experienced a frightening episode of chest pain, or been diagnosed with coronary heart disease (CHD). As a board-certified interventional cardiologist in private practice for more than 20 years in suburban Houston, Ive heard this question from people of all ages and all walks of life executives, construction workers, tech industry leaders, teachers, firefighters, pilots, stay-at-home moms, and more.

Countless times in my career, Ive told my patients about the causes and risk factors for CHD, which leads to an estimated 735,000 heart attacks per year. And Ive filled them in on the latest treatment options and lifestyle changes that can improve their health and help them prevent future heart attacks. But like most busy doctors, I dont always have time to fully explain everything about CHD and the exciting advances in its treatment. Thats where this book comes in. I wanted to find a way to give my patients and others detailed information they can use to take charge of their heart health.
