Dr. Howard Wayne's career-long quest for an early warning system for heart disease has been supported in part by a grant from the American Heart Association. He was able to develop procedures which uncovered heart disease long before traditional examination methods would have. In the early 70s, he wrote the first textbook on non-invasive cardiology. In the process of detecting heart disease prior to the appearance of symptoms, Dr. Wayne discovered more effective ways of treating coronary heart disease with medication. In the past fifteen years, this combination of early detection and treatment has been so successful that out of his thousands of patients, only four have required coronary artery bypass surgery and only three have required angioplasty. How To Protect Your Heart From Your Doctor is essential reading for anyone with a family history of heart disease.
