"People with nearly every form of heart disease today have options--viable and excellent options to return them to a more functional lifestyle, if not a full recovery," writes Eric J. Topol, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic. For five years, the Cleveland Clinic has been ranked first in the United States for cardiology and heart surgery by U.S. News and World Report. Now experts from this top heart clinic share authoritative information about the heart and circulatory system, heart health, heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, congenital heart disease, procedures, medications, and rehabilitation after heart surgery. This is no superficial treatment of the topic, nor is it a repeat of what you've read in other books. For example, the Cleveland Clinic goes farther than the American Heart Association in recommending a diet keeping fat calories to 15 to 25 percent of total calories (the AHA recommends 30 percent), especially if you have a genetic predisposition to heart disease.
The Cleveland Clinic Heart Book translates a substantial amount of medical information to a layperson's language and comprehension level. Be prepared to study rather than skim this book, which demystifies diagnostic and treatment procedures with clear, detailed descriptions and illustrations. The "Emergency Response" chapter could be a lifesaver. If your doctor doesn't have time to explain everything to you (and what doctor does, these days?), this book will be an invaluable guide. --Joan Price
