Marvelous!!

I read this book as part of Reader's Digest Today's Best and it was just an amazing story of courage, love, and self-determination. I encourage anyone to go and get this book ASAP. It is an wonderful account of the live of Robert Pensack and how he was able to deal with his illness and become a successful doctor. Remarkable reading.03991400185002008-08-04

very educational

In September 2004, I was diagnosed with IHSS. By July 2005, I had to have open heart surgery to cut away some of the thickened septum of my heart. I was 48 years old. It happened so fast that I did not have time to find out very much about the disease. I was very blessed. This book has shown be just how blessed I am. Dr.Pensack has written a very personal yet very educational account of what it is like to have this disease. In my case, no one in my family had it and so far my two children do not, although my cardiologist wants to see them frequently to make sure it doesn't develop later in their life, as it did mine. This book is a touching memoir of a man determined to save his life. I cannot put into words what it feels like to think you are out of shape or being called lazy when you were too tired to breathe and not knowing what was wrong. Or to have doctors tell you to EXERCISE!!!! and being thankful you couldn't take their advice because you could have dropped dead from the effort. <br />I guess this book justified me. His life story is amazing. He worked on the very treatment that helped so many to survive transplants. Thank you, Dr. Pensack for sharing with us. This book is not just for heart patients, but for anyone who enjoys stories of victory and overcoming. 03991400185672000-08-24

Poignant, Unpretentious, and Moving

I stumbled across this book in a used book store and read it because I had nothing else on hand. It gripped me from the first page, where the author describes his four year old son, Max, staring down at the author on the floor as he suffers a heart attack. Before this book, I knew little about heart diseaseof any sort. I've learned a lot about heart disease, but also about courage and determination. This book will appeal to a broad range of readers. It is beautifully written, often amusing, and always gripping. I barely survived his heart transplant, and have a new awe for anybody who contemplates undergoing this procedure.03991400185562000-05-05

"Raising Lazarus"

Being an HCM victim myself, I found this book highly informative, educational, moving, emotional, and inspiring. I could relate to his suffering, his motivation, and his tenacity. It's a miracle that he survived to share his experiences. This book gave me the determination to educate myself, and motivate myself to live with and survive this condition, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. A great read for everyone; highly recommend!03991400185671998-05-31

Very informative! Hard to put down!

Having a 8 year old son with IHSS/HCM I found this book the most informative of the hundreds of articles I have read. This book gives the details patients,(or in this case parents of the patient)want to know. I have read it three times and will read it again. I like the in depth discussions about being a heart patient,both the physical and emotional affects.A forty-three-year-old physician describes how he was diagnosed with an often fatal cardiac condition at age fifteen and presents poignant memoir of his struggle to become a doctor, raise of family, and, most of all, value life despite adversity.1400078776086547669106797633090800636082038549081X2375General2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books713038011General AAS2Biographies & Memoirs1000Subjects283155Books4610Grief & Bereavement4608Death & Grief10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books14253General14245Physician & Patient13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books713427011General AAS14245Physician & Patient13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books10580Social Services & Welfare10576Poverty10546Current Events53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books11289General11288Sociology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713503011General AAS11288Sociology11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books11268General11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books713494011General AAS11232Social Sciences53Nonfiction1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0815167520http://www.amazon.com/12-Lead-ECG-Acute-Myocardial-Infarction/dp/0815167520%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0815167520226508http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DNAVTQTEL._SL75_.jpg7558http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DNAVTQTEL._SL160_.jpg160125http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DNAVTQTEL.jpg475370Tim PhalenPaperback616.1237075479780815167525410815167520C.V.

By far the best Pre-Hospital ECG book.

I have always been fascinated by ECG's. I have looked at and/or read nearly every ECG interpretation book out there. As a paramedic by far the best and most pertinent book for prehospital interpretation is Phalen. I hate reading paramedicine books that are still teaching you how to take a pulse and blood pressure. NO @$#%!!! Like another reviewer states, Phalen deals with AMI's, their mimmickers, and nothing else. No basics. If you can't read a 3 lead. Don't buy this book. Once you can this is the one to take you through the next step to be proficient at diagnosing an AMI on a 12 lead.0815167520514151997-10-05

Clear, concise, and VERY easy to understand. Excellent Book

As a paramedic, it has become essential to understand 12-lead ECG analysis and this book tops my list of recommendations for those needing to understand how to interpret 12-leads. Phalen does an excellent job of presenting just the material necessary to deteminine if and where infarction may be occurring. I highly recommend this book for all emergency cardiac care providers. This book would be especially helpful to those starting to use 12 lead ECG's in the pre-hospital setting.08151675205891997-07-23

Great

Tim Phalen has written a excellent book for the paramedic or flight nurse. Of the dozen ECG textbooks on the market, this book is the first I recommend. The book assumes a basic knowledge of ECG rhythm interpretation, and then presents the essentials of 12 lead ECG interpretation in light of the AMI. Tim uses a straight forward approach that explains the concepts without patronizing the reader. <p> J. Nile Barnes<br> Assistant Professor EMS Programs <br> Austin Community CollegThis book reflects the need of EMTs, paramedics, emergency and flight nurses to utilize more sophisticated equipment to assess myocardial infarction, and reduce the damage it does to the heart. This is the first book to focus exclusively on 12-lead interpretation for the prehospital professional. Contents also include the effects of infarction location and coronary occlusion.0763712841096451913508749349660912912065007145964214020Emergency Medical Services14018Allied Health Professions13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14131Cardiovascular14116Diseases13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14323Cardiology225828Internal Medicine13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books172767Emergency Medicine225827Specialties13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14183General13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books713413011General AAS13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books227574Emergency Medical Services227571Allied Health Professions173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books227630Cardiology227203Internal Medicine265542Medicine173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books227688Emergency227203Internal Medicine265542Medicine173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books16MS3Z2WN6GOVEven More Of My Electrocardiography BooksHY25C6PO78PSessentials for the firemedicASNBIC2V4G9OMy FavoritesB0006P4Z6Ehttp://www.amazon.com/Hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy-Current-problems-cardiology/dp/B0006P4Z6E%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0006P4Z6EBarry J MaronUnknown BindingMosbyEnglishEnglishMosbyBook1993MosbyMosby999USD$9.990100005.021B0006P4Z6E5232002-09-13

A *MUST READ* for friends and family of a HOCM patient

If you or someone you love suffers from this disease, then this book is a must read. It completely explains the condition in a way that is easy to understand. It also covers the various ways currently used to identify and treat the symptoms. This book was co-authored by the leading cardiologist in the field and the president of the HCMA support group [....]Additionally, I would recommend contacting the HCMA for more information and support. They can put you in touch with a specialist in your area who can better help you treat this disease. <br /> <br />My wife was diagnosed with this condition in April 2002 by a local cardiologist who did not know much about HCM and should have diagnosed it in January with the first test. After joining the HCMA and receiving this book, we knew more than our local doctor. The HCMA hooked us up with a Specialist at the Cleveland Clinic and where we are currently getting treatment. As a matter of fact, Dr. Lever at the Cleveland Clinic even recommended this book for us to read! He was very pleased that we had already done that!This unique, succinct book was written by Dr. Barry Maron in collaboration with Lisa Salberg of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association, to fill a void that has existed for over four decades, and serves as a much-needed source of information on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) for those in both the lay and medical communities. HCM is an uncommon genetic disease that has proven exceedingly complex and diverse and therefore has been the source of much misunderstanding. This has most profoundly affected those patients afflicted by HCM, and also their physicians, who may rarely see this disorder. Directed toward both these groups, this book is written in a comprehensible style with minimal medical jargon and covers a wide array of issues from diagnosis, genetics, prognosis, and treatment to a variety of lifestyle guidelines. Consequently, it will serve as an effective resource for HCM patients and healthcare providers who wish to know as much about the disease as possible. Cardiologists with HCM patients should consider providing this useful text to their patients.0597831513B000R9CO9O282813Heart Disease4656Disorders & Diseases10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books0412073412http://www.amazon.com/Acute-Myocardial-Infarction-Bernard-Gersh/dp/0412073412%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D04120734121632496http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519GX9DESVL._SL75_.jpg7553http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519GX9DESVL._SL160_.jpg160112http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519GX9DESVL.jpg475333Bernard J.

Bernard left no stone unturned

This is by far the best-written book on this subject I have ever laid eyes on--If anyone can top this, it will be Dr. Gersh in his next book, but I do suspect that work this fine tuned will take many years to out do.Many factors - including changing epidemiology of coronary artery disease, earlier diagnosis, and more effective treatment - have radically altered the management of patients with acute myocardial infarction and the emergence of therapy aimed at acute reperfusion has heralded an era of profound change. There has been an explosion of data about diagnosis, pathophysiology, characterization of clinical subgroups, and treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. This edition includes new chapters on women and acute myocardial infarction; cardiac rehabilitations, and exercise training; risk factor modification; after myocardial infarction; and myocardial infarction in the elderly.297481General4656Disorders & Diseases10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books713267011General AAS4656Disorders & Diseases10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books14131Cardiovascular14116Diseases13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14323Cardiology225828Internal Medicine13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14183General13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books713413011General AAS13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books227630Cardiology227203Internal Medicine265542Medicine173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0444824472http://www.amazon.com/Arrhythmogenic-Right-Ventricular-Cardiomyopathy-Dysplasia/dp/0444824472%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D04448244726017847http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/718BZ27NBJL._SL75_.gif7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/718BZ27NBJL._SL160_.gif160109http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/718BZ27NBJL.gif475324HardcoverAndrea NavaLino RossiGaetano Thiene616.12497804448244791000444824472Elsevier Science Pub CoEnglishEnglishEnglish97520900USD$209.00Elsevier Science Pub Co1514Book1997-12-01Elsevier Science Pub CoElsevier Science Pub Co2457000000004.04104448244725002007-06-09

For many cases the answer may be supplemental CoQ10

Coenzyme Q10 (often abbreviated as CoQ10) is essential for human life. It catalyzes the formation and utilization of energy in every human cell, especially the cells of the heart muscles. Fortunately, our bodies manufacture CoQ10. Unfortunately, some people do not manufacture enough CoQ10 to keep them healthy, especially as they grow older. Research has shown that deficiency of CoQ10 is the primary cause of many cases of cardiomyopathy and eventual congestive heart failure. Fortunately, these diseases can often be cured by CoQ10 supplementation. The effect can be quite dramatic, and in some cases heart transplant candidates have no longer needed a heart transplant after supplementation with CoQ10. Dr. Stephen Sinatra -- a board-certified cardiologist -- is a world-renowned expert on CoQ10 and its health benefits, especially for the heart. If you suffer from cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure, I beg your to buy and read Dr. Sinatra's book The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon and take supplemental CoQ10 as he advises.This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to dilated cardiomyopathy (also cardiomyopathy - dilated; congestive cardiomyopathy), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on dilated cardiomyopathy.

Ischemic preconditioning is the phenomenon in which a brief period of ischemia (and reperfusion) prior to a more prolonged occlusion reduces myocardial infarct size. This form of myocardial protection has received much interest because ischemic preconditioning has been shown to be the most potent means of reducing infarct size in all animal models so far tested. Within the last six years, the principal focus of adenosine cardioprotection research has centered on the role of adenosine receptors. It is currently thought that adenosine protects the ischemic heart primarily via the activation of adenosine A1 receptors located on the cardiac myocytes. Adenosine is used clinically for terminating supraventricular tachycardia, and as a diagnostic tool in coronary imaging, and has been used postoperatively for blood pressure control after heart surgery. There are also recent reports that adenosine may be safely tolerated and a potentially beneficial additive to cardioplegic solutions during open heart surgery in humans. There is even evidence that ischemic preconditioning may occur in humans under various clinical situations. This volume contains chapters from contributors to the first three symposia on `Adenosine, Cardioprotection, and its Clinical Application'. All aspects of adenosine cardioprotection and ischemic preconditioning, including potential mechanisms and clinical applications, are discussed by experts in these areas. The reader will find this book to be an excellent source of information on these topics, as well as a guide to future experiments.298657General10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books713243011General AAS10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books14131Cardiovascular14116Diseases13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14323Cardiology225828Internal Medicine13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14084General14080Pharmacology13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books713426011General AAS14080Pharmacology13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books14183General13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books713413011General AAS13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books227630Cardiology227203Internal Medicine265542Medicine173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books16311581Cardiovascular265544Pharmacology173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books265545General265544Pharmacology173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books713575011General AAS265544Pharmacology173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books
