5 steps to detect and manage a heart attack 

Were you taking care of your heart?

Eva Lee Snead

A heart attack occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become blocked or narrowed. It is a silent killer that can strike anyone, anywhere.

This book provides a detailed description of the tests needed to detect a heart attack and the various treatment methods. It also offers information on how to manage a heart attack and cardiac rehabilitation. Surgical interventions such as coronary artery bypass grafting and robotic surgery are also explained.
