About the Author

James A.

He has studied with Dr. James V.

Dr. Pantano is the author of several medical journal articles, holds patent on a novel veterinary cardiac application of ACE inhibitors, enjoys making wine and rarely ever breaks 100 on a golf course. His wife, Penny, owns a swim school and children are engineers and teachers, not wanting to have to answer the phone at 2 AM.

Review

"Living With Angina is a very important addition to our knowledge of this important subject. Dr. James Pantano leaves the text books aside and talks directly to us. Read this book and thank my later."
Larry King, Mutual Broadcasting Company              

"I have reviewed many medical books for this column, and there is one chapter of this book I feel probably is the single most important service the author does: You and Your Doctor. Decidedly written from the doctor's side of the fence, this small, but effective chapter on a doctor/patient relationship should be read by every person who ever visits a doctor."
Dennis Cole Hill, Daytona Herald

"The subtitle reads 'A Cardiologist's Guide to Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, the Doctor/Patient Relationship, and How to Lead a Normal and Productive Life,' and that is just what it does. The success of such books depends on the author's knack for explaining the issues clearly and accurately, using nontechnical language and analogies that a lay reader can easily comprehend. Dr. James Pantano, a cardiologist in Allentown, Pennsylvania succeeds on all counts."
William B. Ober, M.D., book review in MD Reads

"Living With Angina is your guide to getting well through informed communication with your doctor - a relationship that can make life, once again, normal and relatively pain free."
