Bravo! A highly readable book that explains in clear term why we have heart attacks and how we can increase the odds of living without one

Peter M. Nicholas

Dr. Kensey has written a refreshing book. . . . Full of commonsense advice, which is unfortunately not all that common these days, this book is a valuable addition to the health literature intended for lay audiences."
