A consumer health book that teaches patients how to work closely with their cardiologists to prevent heart disease and even death.
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) February 21, 2008 -- Visiting a cardiologist will be less stressful for those who read the latest release from Cleveland Clinic Press. "You and Your Cardiologist: A Cleveland Clinic Guide" by Curtis Mark Rimmerman, M.D. is a consumer health book that teaches patients how to work closely with their cardiologists to prevent heart disease and even death.
Backed by Cleveland Clinic's 13-year reputation as America's best cardiac care center, Dr. Rimmerman is a noted heart doctor whose medical guide uses simple language and real-life examples to answer questions from readers, including:
-- How do I know if I'm having a heart attack?
-- Why do I need a cardiologist, and how do I choose the right one?
-- Which important details does my cardiologist need to know about me?
-- Are all these heart tests really necessary?
-- What are my medications for, and how do they work?
-- Can I trust information from the Internet?
-- What if I need heart surgery?
-- Will my life ever be normal after my heart attack?
Dr. Rimmerman's book on heart disease provides the most potent antidote for fear − knowledge. From preparing for the exam to receiving treatment and understanding how doctors proceed from intake to diagnosis, this cardiology book increases awareness of matters of the heart and decreases anxiety.
