Review
'Busy doctors, or dissatisfied heart patients, couldn't do better than invest in Dr Jackson's latest book.... It contains 250 pages devoted to questions that patients ask and answers the doctor wishes he had given if only he'd had the time to think how best to put them.' - Dr Thomas Stuttaford, The Times. 'Those readers who want to know more about the various treatments for heart disease will be much enlightened.' - Dr James Le Fanu, The Daily Telegraph. 'Coronary heart disease is the biggest single killer of men and women in this country. There is, therefore, no better time to promote good health, and Dr Jackson's books is most welcome.' - Frank Dobson, former Secretary of State for Health. 'An excellent book, which I regularly recommend to patients. I think it is eminently sensible in its question and answer format.' - Dr Henry Purcell, Co-editor, British Journal of Cardiology.
