I've read several books written by medical doctors/cardiologists and none of them have tried to make it as complicated as you seem to want to do. I think the point of trying to make it sound too complicated is to shut down all discussion of trying to do anything about it, like changing one's diet, exercising and controling stress. Those 3 are the main culprits and if the OP didn't mention all of them it doesn't mean that he doesn't acknowledge them as being important.
Since science still has not determined the causes of heart disease how or why is DIET the most obvious common cause? I've read studies that say low magnesium may be a significant factor in heart disease and there are hundreds of studies that list other factors.
