This month I am reviewing: Understanding and Dealing with Heart Diseases by Dr Richard Sloan. In the last book review, I reviewed Left Neglect by Lisa Genova. If you missed the review you can read it here.
About This Book
Understanding and Dealing with Heart Diseases is a comprehensive book that equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to better understand and address heart diseases.
The book is written by Dr Souter, who is an experienced cardiologist and author of several other books on cardiac health.
The book is divided into two parts, the first of which provides a detailed overview of heart diseases, including their causes, symptoms, and prevention.
This section includes information on the medical tests and procedures that are used to diagnose heart disease, as well as the various treatments available to patients.
The second part of the book offers practical tips and advice for people who have been diagnosed with heart disease.
Dr Souter offers guidance on managing the condition, including dietary recommendations, exercise regimens, and stress management techniques.
What I Thought About The Book
As a cardiology nurse, I picked this book because I wanted to increase my knowledge of heart conditions. This book is written in a simple way for anyone to read.
Dr Souter presents complex medical information in a clear and straightforward manner, making it easy for readers to understand.
Additionally, the book includes numerous diagrams and illustrations that help to explain the concepts being discussed.
Another notable feature of the book is the emphasis on prevention. Dr Souter argues that taking steps to prevent heart disease is just as important as treating the condition once it has developed.
He provides practical advice on how to reduce risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure.
Recommendations
The book provides a wealth of information on prevention and treatment, making it an essential guide for both patients and healthcare professionals alike. Highly recommended.
