Description
Some of the most upbeat people I know are individuals in cardiac rehabilitation programs. That may sound peculiar, but if you think about it, you'll understand why. These people have suffered one of life's most frightening experiences-a heart attack-and lived to tell about it.
What's the secret? Taking an active part in your recovery process. And this is what this book is all about. It will show you the way, from your first day in the hospital, through the myriad tests and possible surgery, through convalescence and the conditioning phase, right up to maintenance. Every aspect of rehabilitation, including emotional recovery, is addressed.
I won't say that the time ahead of you will be easy. But with determination and effort you're going to get healthy and live a long and happy life. Remember, you're one of the lucky ones. -John K. Vyden, M.D.
