Heart health

This was a treasure Trove of information about heart diseases, causes treatments symptoms and how to live life after it's struck you. There were articles, dictionary term definitions, interviews, and explanations by both authors on the various ins and outs of the topic. I found this to be very enlightening, and encouraging in the sense that I feel more prepared about taking care of mine and my family's heart health now and in the future. One thing that I would have liked to have seen is a chapter or even just a section within this book about the differences in Strokes in men and women, as women have acid research has shown different symptoms of a stroke than men do and so it's harder for them to diagnose when they are actually having it. Other than that I think that this is a fantastic book that will help anyone who is serious about their health and who wants to make a lasting change in their life.

The authors, with their experience and expertise, have provided critical information regarding cardiac rehabilitation also extensive knowledge about cardiac events occurrence, treatments available, and steps anyone should take to improve their cardiovascular health. It's a great educational resource also for someone who is not suffering from cardiac problems. The author is a cardiologist, and that's what makes this guide more professional and trustworthy. We have a family history, and this guide is all more valuable to me and I will be recommending this guide among my loved ones, too. A must-have book for those suffering or just for anyone to follow a healthy living.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Explained: An in-Depth Guide to Understanding and Navigating Life after Heart Attack, Stenting, or Surgery by Warrick Bishop and Allstair Begg is a Cardiovascular health resource. Having a family member suffer a heart attack is a scary event, and fueled my deep-dive into improving their and my own cardiovascular health. I liked that this book was comprehensive in explaining the cardiovascular system and diseases in an understandable manner. It also includes steps for improvement for those at any current heart health status, and a thorough explanation of various medications and their long-term effects with cited studies. I found the interview with the Wiggles member, a cardiac event survivor, really interesting!

Cardiac Rehabilitation Explained is a book destined for different kinds of people because it gives a lot of information about one of the most common causes of death: heart Attack.

In my case, for example, I don´t suffer from this condition yet, but I definitely want to know more about this as I have friends who had it and it's no picnic. This book answers many questions about the causes, treatments, and precautions. It teaches how to improve cardiovascular health, something any of us can do to prevent heart attacks from even happening.

Overall, it's a great informative book that gave me a lot to think about regarding health. Great job Alistair Begg and Warrick Bishop!
