The very mention of heart disease strikes terror in the minds of many. This book, intended to put into proper perspective what heart disease means, explains in simple terms the changes that occur when a heart becomes deranged in structure and function.
The signs and symptoms of heart disease, common methods of examination and treatment (medical and surgical) and preventive steps are discussed in detail. It is hoped that the book will prove useful in allaying unnecessary fears associated with heart ailments.
