According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Heart Attacks and Strokes are the leading causes of death worldwide. Collectively they account for over 15 Million deaths each year, (more than the next three leading causes of death combined). Most of these events are completely preventable. Much of this is due to a system which encourages and rewards treatments and procedures over prevention and outcomes. The US standard of care compels physicians to identify and treat risk factors for disease rather than the diseases themselves. Consequently, Heart Attacks and Strokes account for nearly one third of the annual deaths in the US. Nine million times each year, patients are submitted to excessive radiation and invasive procedures to "measure" their risk for Heart Attack and/or Stroke. According to recent literature, most of these invasive procedures are neither justified nor effective. There are a few tests which can accurately predict those who will, and who will not go on to have a Heart Attack or Stroke. One such test, catches >98% of these events BEFORE they occur. Most of the time, these tests have not yet been recommended to patients by their primary care physician. This book addresses these concerns and the #1 GAP in the US healthcare system today: under-diagnosis of heart disease. This book tells you which tests could help you to prevent a Heart Attack or Stroke, in time to treat it medically and not surgically.

Are you tired of hearing that the American health care 'system' is broken? Well, it is. You can't understand your bill--or pay it; you wait an hour before seeing the doctor for ten minutes; and that was your child who was just laid off, and whose family has no health insurance. Health Care Half-Truths shows the ways in which American health care is tarnished and ways in which it shines, explaining that if we are going to make our health care system work for us we must begin with a common set of information. Unfortunately, our current information comes from sound bites that on their surface seem perfectly reasonable, but on closer examination are wrong. Health Care Half-Truths untangles the misinformation, misperceptions, and confusion that have confounded the American public and our elected officials. Dr. Arthur Garson identifies twenty myths about the U.S. health care system and uses his extensive knowledge and keen insights to blow them apart.
