It gives practical advice on correcting these factors through lifestyle and medical management. Updates for the second edition include:Key Features

This text addresses all stages of cardiovascular care, including prevention, critical
illness, rehabilitation and health promotion, providing a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular
patient care. Similar to Lindsay and Gaw but with USA focus and much lengthier and more expensive.
Other books on our list (Jowett, Hatchett) focus on care of the coronary patient in hospital rather than in primary care.
