A heart attack or stroke can often be prevented. 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 through healthy lifestyle choices and/or a statin prescription.

Fortunately, anyone can obtain a safe and simple test to detect artery-clogging at an early stage, without a doctor's order. If you obtain this screening test and it shows you have artery clogging, you can work with your doctor to reduce your LDL level, potentially adding healthy years to your life.
