Publisher Description
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and most developed countries. In recent years, however, numerous studies have demonstrated the complementary role of lifestyle modification and cardioprotective medications in preventing initial and recurrent cardiovascular events. Although angioplasty or bypass surgery may, in some cases, decrease symptoms and even be lifesaving, these interventions do not adequately address the underlying causes. The Heart-Healthy Handbook touches on all of these issues ranging from preventative to acute care.
