Despite great advances in prevention and in improving outcomes,
heart disease remains a major source of morbidity and mortality in
the Western world and, increasingly, in developing countries. The
emotional impact of a diagnosis of heart disease can be
significant, often increasing cardiac symptoms such as chest pain
or palpitations. This addition to The Facts series stresses the
importance and feasibility of primary prevention by appropriate
life-style changes, whilst helping the reader to understand and
cope with existing heart disease. The book is structured to provide
information on topics ranging from basic cardiovascular anatomy and
physiology - as needed to understand the various pathologies
discussed - to symptoms, clinical situations, investigations and
available treatments. Beside medical information, the reader will
find practical advice on how to communicate with the cardiologist,
and how to prepare for certain tests. A glossary with commonly
encountered medical terms is also included. Although targeted
mainly at cardiac patients with heart disease and their families,
this book will also be useful for paramedics, specialist nurses,
support groups, GPs and all those involved in treating heart
patients in the community.
