A complete guide to managing

The Harvard Medical School Guide To Lowering
Your Cholesterol
High cholesterol affects approximately 50 million
Americans and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular
disease— which half of all men and a third
of all women will get at some time in their lives.
As founder and chief of the prestigious Lipid
Metabolism Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital
and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard
Medical School, Dr. Mason W. Freeman treats hundreds
of patients each year and oversees breakthrough
cholesterol research. In THE HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL GUIDE TO LOWERING YOUR CHOLESTEROL (McGraw-Hill;
April, 2005), he provides the most expert, up-to-date
advice on reaching and maintaining healthy cholesterol
levels. He has written the book with medical
writer Christine Junge.
In addition to covering the best medical approach
to the subject, Dr. Freeman discusses nutrition,
exercise, and information on what we know about
alternative approaches, and how to work best
with your doctor to develop the best cholesterol
control treatment plan for you. The book examines:
- How to assess your risk for high cholesterol
- Cholesterol-lowering drugs--who should take
them, what to look out for, and how to be sure
your doctor is monitoring you properly
- How to manage your cholesterol through diet
and exercise
- The latest scientific findings on alternative
therapies
THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL GUIDE TO
LOWERING YOUR CHOLESTEROL includes
patient stories, questions doctors often hear,
self-assessment exercises, and the most inclusive,
up-to-date advice available on all ways to
feel better and be healthier.
