Review:

The best time to read this book is before you need it. Before you have symptoms. Before heart surgery is scheduled for you or a family member. Every 25 seconds, an American has a coronary event. Do not wait until the coin toss at the start of the game to start planning your plays, says Dr. Jacob DeLaRosa in Heart Surgery Game Plan. Heart disease is a fight you are capable of winning and the first step is knowledge. ----Kyrlach Review

Dr. DeLaRosa is a hero... --Wendy Williams, The Wendy Williams Show

This is the one book you will read this year that might just save your life. --Juan J. Leon, MD Chief of Cardiovascular Anesthesia
