Does your doctor and HMO or other health insurance plan provide you with the most effective medications to prevent sudden death from a heart attack -- America's Number One Killer?

YOU or a LOVED ONE could be among the 23 million Americans who are NOT being given these medications, according to a new report.  Use a new government report to insist on proper medication and other treatment.

Do you know what your risk of a heart attack is, and what is a safe and healthful level FOR YOU for HDL, LDL, and overall cholesterol, as well as triglycerides and other key medical indicators?

Now a new report makes it possible for you to find out, and to individualize both your risk AND your optimal levels of  these key indicators.  This information could save your life!

Does your doctor -- like most physicians -- look only at individual risk factors, an approach which a new government study says can overlook major dangers, and fail to consider many factors from waist size to diabetes?

Then you should make sure he or she sees and follows this new report which counsels treating what is know as the metabolic syndrome, and that you read the report yourself so that you can help monitor your own treatment.

You've heard about this remarkable new report in the media, but it's important that you know the details, find out the optimal levels of HDL, LDL triglycerides for your particular situation, etc.

AND it's also important for you to have the report in your own hands to help persuade your physician or health insurance plan to prescribe the medication you need to avoid the risk of a deadly heart attack.

Well, now you can have the information you need in simple and easy-to-understand form with charts and even an on-line calculators to help you determine your own risk of a heart attack.
