“Health is not a prophecy; it’s a trajectory, one that can be shifted with informed choices and purposeful action,” says Dr. Karagueuzian, an acclaimed cardiology researcher whose work has shaped the scientific understanding of hidden cardiac risk factors. Dr. Demirdjian adds, “This book is a call to action for health literacy. It empowers readers by decoding the complexity of medical data into insights that genuinely matter.”

Key highlights of “Am I at Risk?” include:

• Identifying potential health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and lifestyle factors — and addressing them through sustainable, evidence-based interventions.
• Dispelling myths and fear around health claims, with tools to differentiate between fact, fiction, and marketing spin.
• Guided steps to reduce risk factors early, long before they culminate into more serious conditions.
• A practical approach for the modern reader, ensuring medical data and recommendations are easy to grasp and immediately applicable.

Dr. Hrayr Karagueuzian, Adjunct Professor Emeritus of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Dr. Levon Demirdjian, a bioinformatics and medical research expert, bring unparalleled authority and passion to the topic. Their combined expertise represents nearly five decades of research and advocacy at the intersection of prevention, science, and public health.
