Maybe a suspicious angiogram has the doctor suggesting bypass surgery. Maybe a major heart attack has you confined to the ICU. After a heart attack or heart surgery, you have a hundred questions and your family has more. How long will I be in the hospital? What are the side effects of that medication? Why do I feel so depressed? What can I eat? Can I exercise?One of the nation's most respected cardiologists answers all your questions in The Cardiac Recovery Handbook. In clear, everyday language, the book covers all aspects of cardiac recovery—from the initial diagnosis of heart disease to medications and surgical options, from hospitalization to rehabilitation, from diet and exercise to keeping your spirits up. No question is left unanswered. Filled with a wealth of vital information, The Cardiac Recovery Handbook is an invaluable resource for the millions of Americans suffering from heart disease, as well as their families, healthcare providers, and friends. 25 photos.

Cardiac Champs was selected as an award winning Finalist in the "Best Books 2010" Awards sponsored by USA Book News. It is a self-help book that teaches people with heart disease, particularly heart attack survivors, how to live a healthy, vigorous, happy life while effectively managing the emotional turmoil that so often accompanies heart disease. Dr. McConnell's doctoral degree in counselling psychology from McGill University and his personal history with heart disease give him a unique perspective into the psychological effects of living with heart disease; a perspective that he says is noticeably absent in treating the disease. He thinks the huge emphasis placed on such things as smoking cessation, cholesterol levels and prescription drugs is often at the expense of important psychosocial issues. He claims the real struggle comes with fighting anxiety, anger, lifestyle disruptions, and for many, insomnia--all of which are discussed in depth in Cardiac Champs. Dr. McConnell wisely uses humour and optimism to avoid any cathartic outpouring as he maps out his program to conquer anger, chronic worry, panic attacks and the perpetual fear of death. Even his treatment of traditional heart health issues such as diet and exercise is rather novel as he emphasizes choice and variety over authoritarian medical prescriptions. His unique perspective certainly comes through loud and clear when he discusses his approach to physicians, "They are consultants not managers"; to alcohol, "Enjoy your beer"; and to anger, "Don't get angry, don't get mad, and don't get even." Cardiac Champs is a must read for anyone interested in adopting a realistic plan to control the "emotional luggage" so often associated with the various forms of heart disease.

The Widow-Maker Heart attack at age 48 was written by a "miracle" survivor of a massive heart attack. He provides hope and a pathway to recovery for other heart attack patients and their loved ones facing the same daunting life changing, unexpected experience. His entire first year of life after suffering his heart attack; actually dying six times, is chronicled in this book combined with his ever changing physical and psychological feelings. In writing this book it was the author's goal to help other families and loved ones facing the same devastating unfamiliar territory as his family faced on March 31, 2008. His goal was to provide timeless support for the loved ones of the heart attack victim so that they might better be able to understand what the patient is going through and what they, as loved ones might do to help the heart attack victim better deal with their life changing experience. The genuine and heartfelt desire on the part of the author to provide insight to the heart attack patient in their post heart attack life is profound and dynamic as they too successfully recover. The book provides much needed insight into critical topics that become part of the day to day lives of heart attack victims. The author laments about the mental side of first symptoms of actually experiencing a heart attack, emergency room feelings, mental challenges associated with dying, physical and emotional thoughts of waking up in the ICU, first day emotional panic, first night death feelings, prescription drugs, family support, cardio rehab, physical and physiological ups and downs, "Mount Everest moments", and stress prevalent in the first year of recovery. This book should be provided to every heart attack patient families or victim in the hospital, cardiovascular specialists and educators of heart attack health.Author: Patrick J.

A heart attack is a serious, frightening, and potentially life-threatening, condition. Fortunately, if you follow the steps I describe, you will know the symptoms and know what to do in case you experience them. This could save your life! Over a million Americans have a heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction, or MI) each year. It’s one of the leading causes of death in this country. It’s tricky business because heart attacks can occur without any symptoms (the so-called “silent heart attack”). Conversely, the symptoms of a heart attack can also be symptoms of a whole host of other conditions. Included are links to Web sites that explain the technical terms Dr. Krakow uses in more detail. The purpose of DOC, I THINK I'M HAVING A HEART ATTACK! is to give you guidance as to what to do if you think you’re having a heart attack, and to give you a reasonable idea of what to expect when you are treated for it. Dr. Krakow answers the following commonly asked questions about heart attacks: How will I know whether I'm having a heart attack? What should I do? What's the cause of my chest pain? What else could it be? What’s going to happen to me after medical help arrives? How can I avoid a heart attack? Dr. Krakow is a former Family Practice physician. Currently, he is a medical writer. Dr. Krakow is a graduate of the Temple University School of Medicine. He did his Family Practice residency at the Crozer Chester Medical Center in Upland, Pennsylvania.
