Product Description
Heart Attack: A Cleveland Clinic Guide There is no other medical center more qualified to write a book on this subject.The Cleveland Clinic Heart Center has been selected as the best Heart Center in America, according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey for the past 11 years. Our doctors are leaders in cardiology, cardiac surgery, cardiothoracic anesthesia, and research into the heart and its diseases. No heart program has more experience, more knowledge and better access to technology. As medical pioneers, The Clinic developed cardiac angiography and the coronary artery bypass. One great lesson is that heart disease is a tremendously frustrating condition. It progresses silently and makes its presence known—if at all—only well after it is established in the heart’s arteries. When there are symptoms—significant chest pain, for instance, or sensations of indigestion—they aren’t always recognized or acknowledged as being associated with heart disease or heart problems. Worse, sometimes the first sign of heart disease is a heart attack, and a lethal one. This Cleveland Clinic Guide provides what anyone at risk of a heart attack needs most: real substantive information from a source that is trusted by people all over the world. Told through case histories, and fully illustrated, this Guide was written by specialists who understand what the patients are going through and know that with more information, patients will understand they are not alone. |

Cardiology by Richard Collingwood  5 Stars
December 06, 2008
Dr. Rimmerman has written a fine book on the subject. Easy to read and understand.

Good, solid discussion by Christy Bishop (Akron, Ohio)  4 Stars
June 08, 2007
The book is set out in readable sections, and is very informative. Many questions may not be answered, but the basics are there. Most of the book assumes that all cardiac issues are due to coronary artery disease, though some are not. A worthy read, in all.

A solid, fact-filled resource thoroughly accessible to lay readers, and highly recommended by Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) 5 Stars
September 11, 2006
Heart Attack: A Cleveland Clinic Guide by Curtis Mark Rimmerman M.D. (Medical Director for Cleveland Clinic Westlake, Lakewood, and Avon Pointe) is the no-nonsense official guide from The Cleveland Clinic Heart Center, selected as the best Heart Center in America according to U.S. News & World Report's annual survey for the past eleven years. Numerous individual case stories clarify solid information about heart anatomy, telltale signs and warnings of risk to the heart, the patient's role in managing heart disease, how to choose the right heart doctor for one's needs, and much more. Of particular importance are the heart disease myths that Heart Attack thoroughly debunks, such as "if I have no symptoms, I'm not at risk", "heart disease begins in adulthood", and "smoking only hurts the lungs/cigars are 'safe'". A solid, fact-filled resource thoroughly accessible to lay readers, and highly recommended.
