(Everyday Health) "I'll let you in on a big secret," says Dr. [Arthur] Agatston. "Physicians who practice aggressive prevention have seen heart attacks and strokes practically disappear from their practice. It's that simple — this approach can literally prevent heart attacks and strokes and save lives. My goal in writingThe South Beach Heart Program was to speed the pace of the cardiac prevention revolution currently taking place in this country." To that end, Dr. Agatston has performed pioneering work in noninvasive cardiac imaging that has resulted in computerized tomography (CT) scanning methods and measures that bear his name: the Agatston Score and the Agatston Method, which are used to screen for atherosclerosis — and are recognized worldwide. The Agatston Score derived from the CT scan is the single best predictor of your risk for a future heart attack.
According to Dr. Agatston, studies like this continue to lend support to a noninvasive, aggressive prevention approach. "All of the latest research and evidence suggests that we already have the tools and knowledge to prevent the majority of heart attacks and strokes. Now we just need to put these methods into practice — and start saving more lives."
