Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with coronary artery disease?
What you need to know — and do — right now to manage your condition, protect your heart, and ease your greatest concerns.
Dear Sueliman,
If you recently discovered that you have coronary artery disease, you may feel overwhelmed and distressed, especially if your diagnosis came after an unexpected heart attack.
Coronary artery disease stems from atherosclerosis — the hardening and narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart. This progressive condition starts early in life and is influenced by a wide range of factors, including the genes you inherit and the lifestyle choices you make. Two manifestations of coronary artery disease are heart attack and angina, chest pain brought on by exertion or stress.
It's important to know that once coronary artery disease is detected, there's a great deal you can do on your own and with your physician to create an action plan to successfully manage this condition, to keep its symptoms in check, and to lower the risk of having a debilitating or fatal heart attack.
Diagnosis: Coronary Artery Disease is a clear, in-depth, and empowering guide to successfully treating coronary artery disease. With the help of medications and lifestyle changes, most people with coronary artery disease can live normal lives with few limitations.
This just-published report explains the role of both medications and surgical interventions for treating coronary artery disease. You'll be briefed on the expanded choices in medications, including new alternatives to warfarin, the downside of combination pills, and the safest pain relievers. You'll read about a more effective approach to artery-opening angioplasty and get the report card on minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery.
Most important, the report details specific lifestyle changes that will lead to tangible and lasting benefits for your cardiovascular health. You'll find out why doctors no longer recommend low-fat diets and what they suggest instead. You'll learn about an exercise routine that can cut the risk of heart disease in half. You'll see what sleep deprivation can do to your risk. You'll read about the growing evidence that psychological factors can contribute to cardiac risk, and Harvard's experts will share effective stress-easing strategies for home and for work.
When it comes to your heart, its well-being is in your hands. Don't wait. Order your copy of Diagnosis: Coronary Artery Disease now!
To your good health,
Gregory D. Curfman, M.D.
