About this title

Review:

Dr. Dean Ornish, president and director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute Dr. Bob Arnot's approach is one of the most comprehensive and useful.

James L. McGuire, M.D., chief of staff, Stanford University Hospital Dr. Arnot's advice is both inspirational and practical.

Synopsis:

A year ago, Dr Bob Arnot's father, himself a distinguished doctor, died of a massive heart attack. It was a horrible shock to everyone until Dr Bob began investigating it. Though he knew vastly more about his health and his heart than the average person, Dr Bob's father and his father's doctor had missed some of the classic warning signs of a heart attack. What's more, he hadn't been taking important preventative steps and wasn't up to date on the science or medicine. Dr Bob's father's tragic experience inspired him to write this book. He has analyzed all the latest research and talked to the experts (who are quoted extensively) in the various cardiology fields. The result is a clear, concise and comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to understanding all the risks, the symptoms, the procedures and the medications for insuring a healthy heart. "Seven Steps to Stop a Heart Attack" is a book so important even doctors should read it.
