Al Sears, MD has a pretty good take on traditional cardio and which biomarkers are effective in the prediction of heart disease. I think it is kebaldwin that occasionally post some of his newletters in the cholesterol and/or nutrition forum with regard to supplement strategies to improving various biomarkers related to heart and recently prostate health.

In his book, "The Doctor's Heart Cure", he goes into ways to improve health, specifically 'heart health, using nutritional strategies (low-carb, a la South Beachish, no suprise), nutritional supplements, and exercise ('low and slow' cardio bad, high intesity interval training good). It fairly well written, detailed and supplies a fair amount of journal papers to back up what he is saying (without making the main text unreadable). Anyway, I 'heart'ily recommnd it!
