Silent heart attacks are a consequence of increased cellular inflammation in the arterial cells. The best way to reduce that cellular inflammation is by using high-dose omega-3 fatty acids to reduce the AA/EPA ratio in the blood. The average AA/EPA ratio of Americans is seven times that of the Japanese, and not surprisingly the levels of heart attacks in Japanese is seven times lower although the LDL cholesterol levels in both populations are essentially the same.
