Reviews for Keeping Your Heart Healthy

A well-written discussion by a world-renowned cardiologist on how the heart functions. More importantly, it is a simple and concise book that charts your course to a healthy heart. The best part is Dr. Lim's explanation of the brain-heart connection and how your own mind can impact heart health. -- James R. Doty, M.D., clinical professor of Neurosurgery at Stanford University and the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University School of Medicine 'Simple, easy and concise - just what is needed to understand the functions of your heart. Explains why lifestyles can affect your heart health and also to recognise symptoms of underlying conditions, highlighting not just the plumbing but also the importance of the electrics of the heart. From the 'not so simple' faint through to sudden cardiac death. A must read!' -- Trudie Lobban MBE, Founder & CEO, Arrhythmia Alliance, AF Association & STARS – www.heartrhythmalliance.org 'An inspirational read.
