In this book, cardiologist Dr. Barry Zaret and Genell Subak-Sharpe offer up-to-date facts about the best treatments available for heart disease. There are no short-term fixes and no one-size-fits-all programmes, explain Zaret and Subak-Sharpe. Although certain characteristics are common to each form of heart disease and its treatments, these constants must be tempered against individual variables. The authors outline the constants for the full range of cardiovascular conditions, from angina and heart attacks to high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. They then guide readers through the process of assessing personal variables to develop an individual treatment and life-style programme. Written in a reassuring style, this indispensable guide to heart care offers realistic hope and specific directions for designing a lifelong heart care programme.
