5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read with lots of info, July 6, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Doctor, Tell Me About High Blood Pressure & Stroke (Paperback)

I was impressed with how easy it was to read this book. I've looked at other books about high blood pressure and couldn't understand a lot of the terminology in them. Not so with this book. It was easy to read and easy to understand.

I thought the info was pretty good. I loved the question and answer format because I could get right to the parts I was actually interested in without having to search through the entire book or an unfrienly index. I got lots of answers to the questions I had and didn't ask my own doctor.

I would definitely recommend this book to those with high blood pressure. I didn't read much through the stroke part but its in a similar format and also looks like it has lots of information for those people who are at risk for it or have had it.

This review is from: Doctor, Tell Me About High Blood Pressure & Stroke (Paperback)

I would like to congratulate and to thank Dr. Reyzelman and his
colleagues from the bottom of my heart for answering many questions my wife and I had for a very long time.
We went through this book in one short day not only because this subject is so important for both of us, but mainly because of it's easy to read and understand question and answer format.
We are sure that many people will be glad to read this book and to use it as a guide in learning more about high blood pressure
as one of the most common risk factors in developing coronary
artery disease, heart attacks and strokes.
It's important to emphasize that, besides these critical risk factors, Dr. Reyzelman and his team also provide very important for all of us treatment alternatives such as lifestile changes, dieting and exercise. Thank you, Doctor. Scott A.
