Customer Reviews

Up-to-date information, clearly and succinctly presented.

Surpringly, it is difficult for the lay readers to obtain clear and unbiased information on this disease that kills more Americans than any other.When I was suddenly forced to learn more about heart disease, I considered more than 100 books on the topic, and bought several. This is the best one that I found -- a real gem.Buy it. You'll be as enthusiastic about it as I am.
