Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book amazes me. I am so impressed by Warren Selkow and his ability to make a very serious subject (heart disease) funny and entertaining. He covers all the important information you would need to know if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with heart disease. He discusses symptoms, diet, prescriptions, but what book about heart disease doesn't? What makes this book different is the fact that Warren and Donna (his caregiver wife) wrote the book together and they talk about all the things nobody wants to like what to do the day you hear the bad news, the importance of going to the dentist before having open heart surgery, and how to deal with the emotional difficulties for both the patient and caregiver post surgery. The book is thorough, well researched and very personable. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to know more about heart disease or how to live with it once they've been diagnosed.
