That's because artery clogging that leads to a heart attack or stroke develops slowly over time. Anyone who detects artery clogging at an early stage can slow or stop its progression by lowering the level of bad LDL cholesterol in the blood whether through healthy lifestyle choices a statin prescription or both.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Five heart doctors (cardiologists) have recommended that doctors check their patients for artery clogging but so far very few do. Fortunately anyone can obtain a safe and simple test to detect artery-clogging at an early stage without a doctor's order.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>Artery screening can show if you are one of the many adults who have early-stage artery clogging that causes no symptoms.

Most of those studied were in their mid-40s.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>If you get your arteries screened and the test shows you have artery clogging you can work with your doctor to reduce your LDL level through healthy lifestyle choices and/or statin therapy potentially adding healthy years to your life. You can even target an LDL level that is best for you.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>This book-</span><strong style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>based on 40 medical journal articles</strong><span style=color: rgba(48 48 48 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>-provides all the information you need to work with your doctor to preserve the health of your arteries for a healthier life.
