Unplugged - by Mark Kaplan (Paperback)

About the Book This is the story of how he went from a heart attack at 52 to stronger than ever-and how you can too.

Book Synopsis I WAS THE FITTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM. AND I WAS DYING.

At 52, top-ranked tennis pro Mark Kaplan had a heart attack on the court. He was the picture of health. Or so he thought.

In 1989, Arthur Ashe handed him a trophy at the US Open for Division 1 college player of the year. Neither of them knew they shared the same genetic disease. Arthur had a heart attack at 36 on a tennis court. He died at 49. Mark had a heart attack at 52 on a tennis court. He survived. His 16-year-old son carries the same gene. He was tested at 15. Three generations. Same genetics. One book.

Doctors told him it was just bad luck and put him on a lifetime of statins and drugs. But Mark knew there had to be a better way.

He dug into the science they do not teach in medical school and uncovered the real cause of heart disease, and the truth about cholesterol, statins, and a system built on managing disease, not curing it. Then he did the hard work to heal.

This is the story of how he went from a heart attack at 52 to stronger than ever-and how you can too.
