Heart disease is the number one cause of death and hospitalization in developed countries, and yet it is largely preventable. Think about that for a moment. How is that possible? What is required is good information. Did you know that more than half of those suffering from cardiovascular disease have cholesterol in the normal range? Would it surprise you to learn that the majority of cardiovascular events are attributed to blockages of less than fifty percent? Your arteries are a muscle not a pipe, therefore beating heart disease takes work, but it can be done. Diamond Fernandes is an authority on heart health, and in this book, he shares how you can navigate heart disease along with his five powerful pillars to preventing and reversing heart disease.

Calgary native Diamond Fernandes has been helping people prevent and reverse heart disease since the late nineties. After his father had a heart attack, he started his career with Total Cardiology Rehabilitation in Calgary, he was then recruited to go to Dubai and open up a cardiac rehabilitation centre in 2005. He was then recruited to manage Kelowna C.O.A.C.H. cardiac rehabilitation clinic in 2006. In 2007, he returned to Calgary and opened his own clinic. Calgary’s Heart Fit Clinic is a unique cardiac rehabilitation and heart attack and stroke prevention clinic, helping

people prevent cardiovascular events through cardiac assessments, exercise, education and external counterpulsation therapy (ECP).
