Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery $46.57 Coronary artery bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and colloquially heart bypass or bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina and reduce the risk of death from coronary artery disease. Arteries or veins from elsewhere in the patient’s body are grafted to the coronary arteries to bypass atherosclerotic narrowings and improve the blood supply to the coronary circulation supplying the myocardium. This surgery is usually performed with the heart stopped, necessitating the usage of cardiopulmonary bypass; techniques are available to perform CABG on a beating heart, so-called off-pump surgery. |

All about Heart Bypass Surgery $3.94 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 heart surgery. 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 of surgery 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 sharing the experiences of others, and by outlining the professional help and personal care that are readily available when required. |

Bypassing Bypass Surgery $5.06 More than one million Americans undergo heart bypass surgery and balloon angioplasty every year at a cost of fifty billion dollars. But there is a simple, nonsurgical method to open clogged arteries that is administered in the doctor’s office. Chelation therapy works in all the arteries at once, it’s much safer, and is much less expensive. |

Unnecessary Heart Surgery $10.89 As shown in the Preface, numerous surveys have concluded that most heart bypass surgery is unnecessary. Supported by hospital records, this is one patientas story of how it happened to him.The book includes a detailed record of the experience from the day he fell on his chest in a touch-football game to the day he was given a fraudulent consent form to sign, to the day the surgeon wrote an entry in which he claimed the surgery was done because the patient wanted it. It goes on to reveal what a house of mirrors consent regulations and law are in one state. Recommendations by the American Hospital Association are the only rules that protect a patient from unnecessary or unwanted surgery and other treatment, but they are not legally enforceable. It reveals that the Patient Bill of Rights is mostly fluff, and the prime example is the point that gives a patient the right to know his doctoras name, but nothing about his education, license, resume or medical record. |

Questions from the Heart: Answers to 100 Questions about Chelation Therapy, a Safe Alternative to Bypass Surgery $3.95 Every year more than $10 billion is spent on coronary bypass surgeries that in more than half the cases are unnecessary and even dangerous. * The cardiopulmonary pump used during bypass surgery may cause decreased oxygen flow leading to brain damage and memory loss. * Bypass and balloon angioplasty surgeries (with a few important exceptions) are irrelevant to the natural course of heart disease. * In bypass patients, the incidence of subsequent heart attack or myocardial infarction is higher than for those treated with medication. Why Risk Bypass Surgery? There is a Safe, Legal Alternative at 10% of the Cost More than 500,000 heart patients have received intravenous EDTA Chelation Therapy over the past thirty years. Published studies have established the efficacy rate at about 85%. It not only clears blocked heart arteries but improves circulation throughout the body for long-term benefit. In "Questions from the Heart," Dr. Terry Chappell answers 100 of the most commonly asked questions about EDTA Chelation Therapy, comparing benefits and drawbacks to both therapies in a concise, easy-to-read format. Ideal for all levels of inquiry. |

Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery $9.02 Originally introduced several decades ago, myocardial revascularization on the beating heart was largely abandoned as new techniques for extracorporeal circulation were developed. While the popularity of coronary surgery on the arrested heart remained undisputed for decades, a belief in the benefits of avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass and electromechanical arrest had sustained interest in techniques for surgery on the beating heart. Combined with the refinement of techniques of coronary exposure and myocardial stabilization, coronary surgery on the beating heart had slowly regained popularity in the 1990s. The result of an important collaboration from several international authorities in the field, Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery summarizes the most important and innovative developments in surgical myocardial revascularization that have evolved in recent years. The book is divided into three parts: technical aspects (how to); surgical approaches; and outcomes in off-pump coronary surgery. The reader will be exposed to a comprehensive review of the principles of coronary exposure, preferred surgical approaches, coronary stabilization, management of hemodynamics, graft patency verification in off-pump coronary surgery, and patient outcomes. |

Pioneers of Cardiac Surgery $91.93 Heart operations today are quite common and relatively low-risk, but in the beginning it was just the opposite. Cardiac operations were reserved for desperately ill patients. The author documents this dramatic transition with profiles of 38 surgeons who were active between 1940 and 1985. The profiles are edited transcripts of interviews videotaped between 1996 and 2004. They tell of the development of new techniques such as the ablue baby operation, a the first heart-lung machine, the first artificial heart valve, and the first coronary bypass operation. They also tell the unusual life stories of the surgeons and allude to professional and institutional rivalries. A particularly valuable part of the book is the author’s brief history of cardiac surgery, designed to orient the reader for reading the profiles that follow. |

When To Bypass Back Surgery $7.99 My book describes the significance and difference of low back pain among a child, adult, or elder. It guides the nonmedical reader how to evaluate low back pain, how it should be treated, and it emphasizes a conservative nonsurgical treatment. I wrote a chapter about the anatomy of the lower spine, so the lector will have a better understanding of the medical condition; a chapter about sciatic pain, central and lateral hemiated discs, spinal stenosis, sacroiliac strain, and coccygodynia; one about and when surgery is indicated and how to go about a consultation and "second opinion"; I talk about physical therapy and its multiple modalities; as well as manipulation, acupuncture, and trigger points injections. I have a small chapter of the most common surgical procedures and also about painkillers and analgesics. I describe my own exercise program for the treatment of low back pain. Finally, there is a chapter that I call Useful Resources, a Web page where the reader can obtain serious professional information about the subject. I feel that this small book could be useful to the average reader, to these days of "medical propaganda" when we are paying for unnecessary surgery and tests, which are very costly and sometimes with catastrophic results. |

Take It to Heart: The Real Deal On Women and Heart Disease $11.99 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.” |
