“In his book, Professor Bozbaş doesn’t just present information on cholesterol, but he also provides detailed and fact-based answers to the question on how we can be protected from the most virulent disease of our times, heart attacks. He emphasizes the fact that one cannot be protected from this disease solely by the efforts of one’s physician, and that the patient has to share the responsibility -without paying mind to non-scientific discourses- by learning the basic causes of the disease and their effects, thus owning and caring for his own problem. It is a piece that meets an important need and that contributes to public health.” Prof. E. Murat Tuzcu, Head of Cardiovascular Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, Abu Dhabi. “This is a book which has been written by a physician and academician from the field, who has a full grasp of the subject he presents and who fights in the front lines and which includes everything one needs to know on heart diseases, risk factors, and protection methods; all written in a plain and comprehensible language. It will greatly enhance the Turkish readers’ mine of information.” Prof. Mehmet Emin Korkmaz, Head of Cardiology, Güven Hospital, Ankara. “There are many different -and sadly, polluted- information in the media and other means of communication regarding the pharmaceutical treatments used in addition to the sine qua non-lifestyle changes in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, which is known to cause coronary heart disease. As a result of all this, discontent is seen among the patient group that needs to use medication, and a considerable number of patients in this group do not take their medication. This book, which has been written by my teacher, who is deeply involved in the matter, has been written on a scientific basis and with a language comprehensible for everyone. It has turned out to be a very precious piece that needs to be read in order to remove the confusion on this issue. Great job.” Prof. Irem Dinçer, Lecturer at the Department of Cardiology, Ankara University Medical School, Ankara. “In his absolutely enlightening and useful piece, written on basis of his competent accumulation of knowledge and experience, Prof. Hüseyin Bozbaş presents the evidence, medical data, and patient experiences that have been gathered from scientific studies. This book, which provides detailed answers to many questions one may have on blood fats, cholesterol, and vessel stiffness, shall become an essential reference guide.” Prof. Okan Onur Turgut, Lecturer at the Department of Cardiology, Cumhuriyet University Medical School, Sivas.
