The Heart of the Matter broke new ground: it was the first book on heart disease written by an African-American cardiothoracic surgeon that addressed the specific needs of the Black community. As important today as it was fiveyears ago, this informative, easy-to-understand guide offers everything readers need to know to reduce the chances of heart disease—still the number one killer of African Americans.
This new edition of The Heart of the Matter is revised and updated to detail the most cutting-edge information on cardiovascular disease, blood lipids, and stroke, as well as role spirituality plays in recovery and the most current—and successful—medications and therapies available for African Americans. |
