Infos

100,000 heartbeats a day means a lot of wear and tear over the years. Now two doctors explain how to lower the risk of a stroke as you age.   Natural aging leads to artery plaque, high blood pressure, and slower and irregular heartbeats. You can do everything right, but while you can influence some aspects of aging on your own, some you cannot—at least not without your doctor’s help. Fortunately, the biology of aging is no longer mysterious. Heart and blood vessel health is knowable, measurable, and manageable.   In You Can Prevent a Stroke, Dr. Joshua Yamamoto and Dr. Kristin Thomas help us understand what we can do, and what we can ask of our doctors, to manage the effects of aging on our circulation so that we do not have a stroke. Drawing on fundamentals learned at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, they offer principles and preventative steps that aren’t one-size-fit-all solutions or magical cures—just solid science to help anyone manage the natural processes that affect us all. Included is information on:   ·       Establishing a relationship with a physician ·       Knowing the health of your heart ·       Knowing the health of your arteries ·       Knowing the regularity of your heartbeat ·       Knowing if it’s time to take a medicine to prevent plaque in your arteries, and whether you need a pill to prevent a blood clot   Strokes can be avoided—and You Can Prevent a Stroke explains how.
