There are quite a few books on this subject on the market and this one is the best. It covers almost everything you want to know about the human heart and the content is easy to read.

It is not aimed at the professionals only and layman like me can get to know how my heart works casually. It includes the mechanism of the heart, causes of various heart diseases/problems, symptoms, ways of treatment, heart health ...etc. Very comprehensive and well organised.

I would recommend this book to those who want to know more about our hearts.

This book has everything you want to know about the human heart. It includes how the heart works, factors affecting the heart's health, symptoms of Cardio Vascular Diseases, preventions, types of treatment . . .

If you or your love ones have CVD, this book can help to get a clear understanding of it. A very good source of information on the heart.

This is not a book for professionals only, anyone will enjoy reading it for good health.

As a nursing student who has a hard time completely understanding difficult text books, this book gave me a great head start for my studies. The Mayo Clinic Heart Book gives understandable yet detailed explainations that add structure and foundation for further education to build on. This book is excellent!

Well organized book from some of the best specialists in the world. This book is good for the beginner (esp. those with loved ones recently diagnosed with CVD) to understand the basic mechanisms and treatment of heart disease. This book is a must have as more than 40% of people in the US have some form of CVD.

I gave this book to a friend who had a stroke a while ago.

Understandably, he's read lots of books on heart disease and the lot. I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised that he found the book very useful. He went on and on about it, so much so that I decided to get a copy for myself and have a read.

This book goes beyond the usual books on how to eat healthy, exercise, etc. It's actually a neat compendium of facts that I would normally not bother to read from books on nutrition, fitness, anatomy, etc.

To crown all, I found the illustrations very useful and easy to follow.

Oh, why did I give this book 4 stars and not 5? Because it does not include a free health check-up at the Mayo Clinic!
