IF YOU HAVE CORONARY HEART DISEASE THIS BOOK COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

Coronary heart disease (CHD) takes the lives of 17 million people every year. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with CHD or suffered a heart attack, there are still ways to live a long, heart-healthy life.

In this definitive guide to CHD, cardiologist Waqar Khan, MD, MPH, answers common questions and provides easy-to-follow advice for preventing heart attacks and keeping your heart in tip-top shape.

Using real-life patient stories and the latest evidence-based science, BE HEART SMART:
• Explains what CHD is and how it affects the body
• Explores the root causes and risk factors for CHD
• Describes the different types of heart attacks and their warning signs
• Walks you through the tests used to diagnose coronary problems
• Discusses the medications prescribed to combat CHD, including their side effects

Written in easy-to-understand language, BE HEART SMART helps you better under-stand CHD and gives you the knowledge you need to take charge of your heart health. It’s just like having your own personal cardiologist on call!
