  • "Mike McConnell uses both personal stories and profound science to develop an approach to heart disease that leverages new discoveries and well-developed strategies. Along the way, Mike writes with humility and infuses his spirit of entrepreneurship. He acquaints us with potentially stunning new technologies, including AI. This book won't disappoint; more importantly, it just might help."
