A powerful call for a paradigm shift in heart disease therapy. Based on the groundbreaking results of a twenty-year nutritional study by Dr. Esselstyn, a preeminent researcher and clinician, this book illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, Dr. Esselstyn's patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms. Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes, this book explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. It will empower readers to take control of their heart health. Author: Caldwell B.

Skipped heartbeats occur in most, if not 100% of the general population, at some point during their lives. Some medical sources state that about half of us experience them on a relatively frequent basis. For some people however, these heart palpitations called “Premature Ventricular Contractions” and “Premature Atrial Contractions” (PVCs and PACs), occur at a frequency or forcefulness, that can be concerning to them and that can result in chronic anxiety and/or panic attacks. In most cases these palpitations are benign but the unpleasant feeling they may cause can at times override any reassurance one might receive by a doctor, that their heart is otherwise healthy and normal. It would seem that some individuals are more aware of their skipped heartbeats than are others, which in-reality are extra heartbeats (extra systole: ectopic heartbeats) that cause the sensation of missed ones. Many people with PVCs and/or PACs, are finely tuned-in to the symptoms these may cause and once anxiety over them is added, they can occur with more force and frequency (in most cases anxiety and stress precedes and triggers them). While this still does not make them dangerous, according to many reputable heart specialists, the fear and anticipation of them can degrade a person’s quality of life. It in-essence becomes an anxiety disorder in itself or is added to an existing one, causing a worsening of symptoms. It is my intention, through the chapters of this book, to inform readers who experience these common but most-often benign palpitations, with facts, that can help them to better-cope with the concerning symptoms they may experience with these strange heartbeats. This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subject. Please note the number of pages listed and for an approximate word-count, see the ebook version description for this same title (Thank You - the Author).

SUBTITLE: "A Collection of Cardiac Book Titles By Jim Lowrance"This book of 24 chapters (approx. 25,851 words) is a compilation containing four of my previously published titles. While two of the sections are about Mitral Valve Prolapse and contain some overlap information, both also contain aspects and perspectives that are different within each one. The section on common ectopic heart beats (PVCs and PACs), is a subject that is also covered within a chapter of the section regarding heart problems associated with thyroid diseases but with added viewpoints. It is important to note that according to thyroid disease medical sources, including the AACE (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists), half of the American population with thyroid disease, remained undiagnosed and this number is in the tens-of-millions and tremendously higher when worldwide statistics are considered. This is why I have included the section regarding heart conditions that are thyroid disease related. The information presented, can be of importance to anyone who is seeking to be heart-healthier and who is seeking to recognize signs and symptoms of the cardiac conditions that are discussed and treatments that are recommended/administered for them. I have endeavored to provide a good general educational resource on these common conditions affecting cardiac function, with some being benign and others being potentially serious or even life-threatening. It is my sincere hope that readers find helpful information within the pages of this book. PLEASE NOTE: Each title listed in the four sections shown below, are also available separately as paperbacks or ebooks. CONTENTS: SECTION ONE (Nine Chapters): "A Complete Look at Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome" SECTION TWO (Five Chapters): "Are Common Heart Skip Palpitations Dangerous?" SECTION THREE (Four Chapters): "Cardiac Effects of Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism" SECTION FOUR (Six Chapters): "The Best Darn Mitral Valve Prolapse Book!" THE AUTHOR: I am a husband, father, grandfather and lifetime contract salesman, with experience in health writing that began in 2004. I completed theological studies with Liberty University in 1996. I formerly served as editor and forum moderator of Thyroid Health for a major multi-topic content site and as a general health writer for another, where I achieved Editor's Choice Awards for my articles on health subjects. In 2003 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism; "Hashimoto's thyroiditis" being the cause. This autoimmune form of thyroid disease that causes destruction of the thyroid gland resulted in my also developing "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome", due to a compromised immune system with severe co-morbid "Adrenal Fatigue". I also suffered severe anxiety symptoms, including panic attacks early into the onset of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (Hashitoxicosis) and clinical depression. I was also diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and thyroid myopathy, with co-morbid nutritional deficiencies. I have also experienced episodic ectopic heartbeats, since my teen years, partially as a result of MVP-Syndrome. My eventual receiving of diagnoses was a difficult process with proper diagnostic testing not being ordered by the first doctors I sought treatment from. These types of issues were inspiration for me to become proactive in my own health care and to self-educate myself on these health disorders, which I have done extensively since 2003. I now enjoy sharing this information with other patients experiencing my same health disorders. Author: James Lowrance Kindle Edition: Kindle eBook Company: James M.

The prevalence of heart failure is increasing, in part due to the aging population and longer survival of patients with heart disease. As heart failure management has progressed, so has the understanding of the role of arrhythmias in heart failure, and of the impact of therapies to treat them. For many clinical scenarios, a rational arrhythmia management strategy has emerged. Equally important to these strategies is the growing recognition of certain treatments that, although seemingly effective at one point in time, are now recognized as having greater potential for harm. This monograph provides the clinician with current fundamentals of arrhythmias in heart failure as they relate to a variety of clinical scenarios. Although a simple strategy for decision making cannot always be derived, clinicians will find the information useful for assessing and managing arrhythmias and arrhythmia risk in their patients with heart failure. 
Increase the odds of living longer with this bold, broad approach to cardiac health. A medically up-to-the-minute and easy-to-implement program, Take a Load Off Your Heart sets our four key steps to cardiovascular fitness, from assessing risk to managing stress, from improving diet to making a habit of exercise. It demystifies predictive markers such as trigylcerides and Syndrome X, and offers 109 simple, practical lifestyle tips - #22 Breathe deeply, #96 Drink black tea, #3 Increase your HDL level, #54 Walk briskly, #75 Give up dieting - for preventing, stabilizing and, yes, reversing heart disease.Author: Joseph C.

Mitral Valve Prolapse is a heart murmur found commonly in the general public and can cause heart palpitations, orthostatic hypotension (dizziness upon standing), other symptoms of an imbalanced nervous system and anxiety/panic symptoms. Medical Research studies have found it to be even more common in thyroid disease patients, especially those with autoimmune type thyroid disorders. It is also believed to be about 5 times more common in females than in males. Many people with MVP do not experience symptoms while those who do are termed as having "MVP-Syndrome". The condition can also cause an imbalance in the "involuntary nervous system" (dysautonomia) and has been associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in some patients who have it. This book can help to provide the reader with a general education regarding the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this very common heart murmur. This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subject. Please note the number of pages listed and for an approximate word-count, see the ebook version description for this same title (Thank You - the Author). CONTENTS: CHAPTER ONE How MVP-Syndrome May Manifest CHAPTER TWO Basics about Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome CHAPTER THREE More about MVP Symptoms CHAPTER FOUR More about Orthostatic Hypotension CHAPTER FIVE More about Treament for Mitral Valve Prolapse CHAPTER SIX Strong Association of Thyroid Disease to MVP CHAPTER SEVEN Book Review: MVPS-Dysautonomia Survival Guide CHAPTER EIGHT MVP a Medical cause of Anxiety Symptoms CHAPTER NINE Coping with MVP-caused Panic Attacks and Severe Anxiety EpisodesAuthor: James M.
