Customer Review: I "accidentally" went to a lecture by Dr. Esselstyn at Case Wester Reserve University in Cleveland. It was a 1 hour sales

Customer Review: This book does not waste any words, and yet it still manages to explain cardiac pathophysiology in a completely understandable and accessible way.

Customer Review: The New Heart Disease Handbook provides a very understandable and insightful introduction into the subject of heart disease.
