Customer Reviews

Cardiology

Dr. Rimmerman has written a fine book on the subject. Easy to read and understand.

Good, solid discussion

The book is set out in readable sections, and is very informative. Many questions may not be answered, but the basics are there. Most of the book assumes that all cardiac issues are due to coronary artery disease, though some are not. A worthy read, in all.

A solid, fact-filled resource thoroughly accessible to lay readers, and highly recommended

Heart Attack: A Cleveland Clinic Guide by Curtis Mark Rimmerman M.D. (Medical Director for Cleveland Clinic Westlake, Lakewood, and Avon Pointe) is the no-nonsense official guide from The Cleveland Clinic Heart Center, selected as the best Heart Center in America according to U.S. News & World Report's annual survey for the past eleven years. Numerous individual case stories clarify solid information about heart anatomy, telltale signs and warnings of risk to the heart, the patient's role in managing heart disease, how to choose the right heart doctor for one's needs, and much more. Of particular importance are the heart disease myths that Heart Attack thoroughly debunks, such as "if I have no symptoms, I'm not at risk", "heart disease begins in adulthood", and "smoking only hurts the lungs/cigars are 'safe'". A solid, fact-filled resource thoroughly accessible to lay readers, and highly recommended.
