From the Author
Your heart is a long-suffering servant dedicated to your well-being. Approximately one hundred thousand times daily it thrusts its load of life to the billion of cells which make up your body, its cadence harmonizing obediently to the changing circumstances of your daily life. Don't you owe your heart something?
The foremost cause of widow-hood in the the Western world is heart disease: men over forty die in more numbers than from any other disease. The same fate awaits women later: heart attacks are the major cause of death in women over seventy.
When I was a youth working on the ranch, I learned the priority given the work horses whose labor was indispensible for the operation of the farm. So it followed that they did not have to wait to be watered and fed; for their harnesses to be removed; for a comforting curry-comb and brush-down; a check of their hooves and hide; for their stalls to be swept clean. No matter how tired or hungry, we cared for the horses before we looked after ourselves.
No, you cannot curry-comb your heart, but you can bestow on it the benefits that modern science has taught us. Knowing that perhaps two or three heart attacks are preventable will motivate many to appreciate their hearts and learn the skills of heart husbandry. The Heart Attack Prevention & Recovery Handbook is designed to enable the average reader to choose a sensible path to good heart-health. Broadly speaking, the following principles underlie the strategies in the book.
Foster an attitude of kindness and respect for your heart.
School your heart with proper exercise and appropriate rest.
Govern what you inhale and ingest for a healthful heart environment.
Submit to a periodic heart check-up to determine your risk factors.
Seek trustworthy scientific expertise to control your heart's risk factors.
Learn to love, and live light-heartedly.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
