The Heart of an Engineer: Making a Recovery $62.89 The largest section of my book is the collection of poetry that I have written over the last 30 years. They are remarkable in part because they were written by a talented engineer, in part because they were replaced by dreams as a way of keeping track of my subconscious mind as the years went by. Its the last quarter of the book that I find most interesting. It contains considerable personal history as I recover from the isolation (lost in space ) of my childhood, with mxed results (both credit and blame) for the Parkinsons Disease and the deep brain surgery done to ease its ravages. But little of this needs to be repeated on the back cover of the book. What I want there is in the manuscript 47528CEcc as submitted 10/11/07 Author: Merritt, Lauren Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 132 Publication Date: 2008/05/01 Language: English Dimensions: 11.00 x 8.50 x 0.34 inches |

Take It To Heart: The Real Deal On Women And Heart Disease $11.59 All my dreams, confidence, creativity, and healthy living could not protect me from where my heart was about to take me . . . which was not, as I’d often hoped, to the love of my life or all my dreams fulfilled, but to a 99 percent blockage of my arteries and triple bypass surgery. I had heart disease ." from Take It to Heart Nobody lived a healthier or more active life. She was the juicing guru to the stars. She exercised and ate right. But at forty-seven Pamela Serure, exhausted, in pain, and with diagnoses ranging from menopause to anxiety, discovered that she had heart disease. Lifestyle and diet couldn’t correct what her genes had determined. With two days to get her affairs in order, Pamela prepared for triple bypass surgery to correct three almost completely clogged arteries. What the doctors missed and what most women don’t seem to know is that heart disease is the number-one killer of American women. It kills more women than all the cancers combined. Traditional markers of heart disease, such as high cholesterol, may not apply to women. As a result, doctors consistently misdiagnose female patients with anxiety, digestive distress, or symptoms of menopause. Blindsided by her sudden bypass surgery, Pamela Serure turned her life-altering experience into a personal mission to help educate other women about this dangerous and far-reaching disease. In this book Pamela opens the door to her recovery process and tells readers what the doctors won’t. She has found experts to offer advice so that readers will know exactly what to look for and what tests to demand. Women share stories of how they persisted in having the cardiac tests run that saved their lives and others share stories of women they lost because of a missed diagnosis. Comforting, funny, and soulful, this is the book that will empower women to take charge of their heart health. As Pamela says, "These days heart disease has all my attention, as it should have yours. |

Healing the Female Heart: A Holistic Approach to Prevention and Recovery from Heart Disease $19.95 “Coronary heart disease is the number one killer of American women. Every year in this country, six times as many women die from heart attacks as from breast cancer. Yet the symptoms of women’s heart disease are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed by doctors, and women themselves may grossly underestimate their own risk for heart problems. When they do receive treatment, women are frequently older and sicker than their male counterparts, and as a result, much less likely to recover fully. Healing the Female Heart, women’s cardiologist Elizabeth Ross equips you not only with the medical knowledge you need – of risk factors, the tests used to diagnose heart disease, and the treatments used to manage it – but with holistic guidance that will help you give your heart the best possible attention. You’ll learn how to get astute medical care as well as how to nourish your inner self, so that the mind-body connection works for your heart’s health, not against it. With this holistic approach, you can keep your heart beating strong – for a happier, fuller, longer life.” |

All about Heart Bypass Surgery $10.02 This book is for people who are about to have heart bypass surgery, those who have just been through the ordeal, and those who care for a bypass patient. Based on the experience of fourteen informants, the book tells of life before the operation, the decision to have heart bypass surgery, preparation for hospital life, and recovery afterwards. It blends the patient’s widely differing experiences with the surgeon’s expectations, advice and technical demands, and the work of nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other paramedical experts in the recovery from heartsurgery. Most people are shocked the thought that they must have heart bypass surgery. While some feel resigned to their fate, others put on a heroic front; sadness engulfs a few, others are relieved to know what their ailment is, and some become angry. Most want to know why. As a rule, the cost ofsurgery and hospitalization is not important to them. They want to know if they are going to survive. Although there are signs and warnings of heart trouble, it seems that rarely do most people have much time to prepare for a heart bypass operation, and to make decisions about which surgeons and hospitals to employ. This book helps patients prepare for the operation and for the recovery by sharingthe experiences of others, and by outlining the professional help and personal care that are readily available when required. |

Surgery of Coronary Artery Disease $182.95 Bypass surgery (using veins from other parts of the body to replace diseased arteries in the heart) continues to be the intervention of choice for the majority of patients with coronary heart disease. Over 365,000 procedures are carried out a year in the USA; 25,000 in the UK. The AATS database of CAB procedures now numbers over one million clinical outcomes. While the standard procedures of bypass is well established and safe, clinical innovation looks sure to change practice over the next two years. Both minimally invasive (keyhole) and beating heart surgery (i.e. surgery without artificially stopping the heart and using cardiopulmonary bypass) have strong advocates and some benefits to the patient (e.g. less traumatic procedure, less physiological insult, better recovery time). The book contains a detailed section on patient investigation and selection together with detailed guidance on operative techniques. Surgery is considered within the overall management of patients with coronary artery disease, e.g. CAB often has to be used after re-stenosis of arteries following unsuccessful angioplasty. Follow-up and management of complications are also covered. Features: *Integrated color illustrations *Coverage of modern techniques *Fully revised and updated edition *Excellent clinical guidance on patient selection and management |

Surviving with Heart: Taking Charge of Your Heart Care $1.44 Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in our country. In fact, over 41% of people accounted for in our annual death rate die of heart disease. And, more than ever, it threatens both sexes fairly equally. These statistics are daunting to anyone who reads them, yet until we face the disease — either in ourselves or our loved ones — this simply afflicts others. It’s someone else’s problem.Darrell was in his late forties when he had his triple bypass operation. Ellen’s father was in his early seventies when he had a quadruple bypass. Suddenly, two people who had never given a thought to heart disease prevention began the work of becoming heart experts. For Darrell, that meant managing his treatment plan, recognizing the body’s warning signals, adopting a healthier diet, exercising regularly, and more. For Ellen, that meant being a caretaker to her father in the early days, then moving into the role of caregiver with him — the latter a role in which she used her newfound knowledge to help her father take charge of his recovery. It also meant preserving her own physical and emotional health during the challenging times ahead.Surviving with Heart provides detailed and current information on heart disease. It also empowers readers to adopt a survivor’s attitude through motivating personal stories of loss and recovery. In a reader-friendly style, the book helps people make choices that improve their odds of long-term survival. |
