Book Overview
Written in plain English by a board-certified cardiologist and a clinical psychologist who specializes in heart disease, this is a practical "what-to-expect" guide that will help readers cope with their confusion, fear, and lack of information, as well as decode what doctors really mean when they describe certain cardiac procedures, treatments, and medications. The authors clearly explain these issues so that anyone who is at risk of heart disease, or who already has it, will have a deeper understanding of what a heart attack is, how to deal with the hospital experience, and how to interact more effectively with their doctors. In addition, the book offers insights into often-neglected aspects of the disease such as the role a patient's spouse and family play in recovery and what women should be aware of in the diagnostic phase of their treatment. Finally, the authors supply workable motivational tools--an effective treatment model anyone can understand and use--to help make important lifestyle changes in order to get better, stay better, and avoid invasive and expensive procedures in the future.

The Real Thing

I have a strong family history of heart disease and I was drawn to the title of the book. While reading the book it occurred to me that this is how medical books should be written. It felt like the authors were actually talking about me and to me. It was amazingly easy and even fun to read but also provided the information that none of my doctors ever talked about. The chapter on diagnostic test was perfect. It validated my experiences with heart tests and I liked how they talked about the "humiliation factor." Most importantly, I liked how they recommend treating one risk factor/problem at a time and not to overwhelm the patient with "you better do this list right now." No Bull was simple, to the point, informative, and a great read.
This book is SOOOO great!

It felt like these authors were sitting in my living room talking straight to me about how to handle the health issues that my father is facing. In the 3 hours it took me to read this book, I got more information than I did from all the research I have done online and in the library. The whole book simply makes good sense. These authors delivered it simply and effectively! GREAT READ!
