Review
A Patient's Guide To Coronary Bypass Surgery And Its Aftermath provides important information on the causes, nature, and effects of heart disease. A Patient's Guide To Coronary Bypass Surgery And Its Aftermath deals realistically with changes in diet, exercise, and other life habits that will truly help to diminish the effects of the disease. It offers accurate, up-to-date information on such subjects as dietary fats, blood fats, and the relation between them; medications; diagnostic procedures; and risk factors such as hypertension. A Patient's Guide To Coronary Bypass Surgery And Its Aftermath is ideal for the non-specialist general reader and should be "highest priority" reading for anyone who themselves or a loved one is facing a coronary bypass surgery. -- Midwest Book Review

An informative and comforting reference for bypass patients,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Patient's Guide to Coronary Bypass Surgery and Its Aftermath: Advice from a Survivor (Hardcover)
This short book is a concise reference for those facing coronary bypass surgery as well as those recovering from the procedure. Writing in a friendly and easy-going style, Mr Ewing introduces medical jargon only when required and pertinent to the discussion.One month ago I underwent quadruple bypass surgery and found the book a real comfort in the weeks leading up to my hospitalization; it has been indispensable since my discharge from the hospital, as it guides the patient through commonly-experienced feelings, both physical and emotional, with helpful advice and remedies. The only major criticisms that I have of this book could have been eliminated by more rigorous editing; some of the chapters lack the depth of others, and some items of levity and supposition (list of "heart" cliches, and ear-lobe fold correlation) are misplaced in such a reference. On the whole, though, I would strongly recommend this guide to anyone anticipating or recovering from coronary bypass surgery.
