From the reviews: "This is a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular disease risk factors, medical treatment, and specialized testing. The authors' use of lay terms makes this book appealing to a broad reading audience. ! The book is targeted at the lay public with little or no background in medicine. ! is useful resource for patients who wish to have a better understanding of their disease process. Given the high prevalence of coronary artery disease, the focus on prevention also makes this book extremely helpful to the general public." (Louis A Salvaggio, M.
