description: Cardiovascular disease claims the life of 1 of every 2 men and 1 of every 2.4 women in the U.S. today! Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. after age 25. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels constitute the largest percentage of health care problems in the civilized world today. Your Heart, Treat It Like You Love It is a "why, how to, and why not" resource book on the heart. Using actual medical terms, this book gives the average person with little or no medical education a primer on preventive maintenance of the heart and blood vessel systems. This book offers information on how to maintain good health, what to watch for, screening tests available, effective medications and devices, and how to gently demand standards of care from health care professionals. The primary goal is to give the information needed to help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, disability, or premature death. Many have received excellent and skilled care in the hospital or doctor's office only to exit that unique environment with no clue about what to watch for after leaving and when to call for help. Your Heart, Treat It Like You Love It is a resource book that was written to empower the reader, the owner of an elaborate heart and blood vessel system, to enter into partnership with the health care community to help maintain a healthy heart.
