Solved, the Riddle of Heart Attacks

Published in 1976, this book presents Dr. Broda Barnes' revolutionary hypothesis that low thyroid function leads to increased cholesterol, artery damage, heart weakness, and ultimately heart disease.

Drawing from his analysis of over 70,000 autopsy reports from Graz, Austria, and his multi-decade clinical studies showing a 94% reduction in heart attack rates among his patients, Barnes challenges the conventional cholesterol theory of heart disease and advocates for the screening and treatment of hypothyroidism as a means of preventing cardiovascular disease.
