  Coronary heart disease, leading to both heart attacks and angina, is the most important single cause of disability and death in the Western world. Modern drugs and surgery can combat complications in most cases, but how can the disease be prevented, and where in the mass of superficial and often conflicting advice can one turn for the facts? This account of what can go wrong with the heart, who suffers and why, and what treatment is available should prove essential to sufferers, their families, and the health-conscious who deserve the kind of detailed information no one else has the time to supply. The book is intended for people who have had, or are at risk of having, a heart attack, and their relatives and friends.
