The authors discuss in lay terms how the heart works, what can go wrong, and methods available to treat heart disease. They provide excellent advice on choosing a doctor, facing surgery, communicating with doctors and nurses, dealing with psychological reactions (eg, fear of death; personality changes; and anxieties about work, finances, children, and sexual activity), keeping track of medications, and coping in general.
