My New Resource Book

My husband was just faced with a potential heart problem and we were really in the dark since this was our first experience with a heart condition The Expert Guide to Beating Heart Disease provided us with information which was presented in a non-threatening user friendly format. We learned why certain tests are administered, what the results mean, as well as, questions one can ask in order to feel adequately informed so that decisions can be made jointly with the doctor as to the treatment recommended.
