Книга: Cardiac Champs: A Survivor's Guide: How to Live a Healthy, Vigorous, Happy Life After a Heart Attack

Cardiac Champs is a self-help book that teaches people with heart disease, particularly heart attack survivors, how to live a healthy, vigorous, happy life. Cardiac Champs offers real hope because it was written by a survivor who continues to live an active, happy and meaningful life twenty-five years after having had two heart attacks and suffering cardiac arrest. Dr. McConnell wisely uses humour and optimism to avoid any cathartic outpouring as he maps out his program to conquer anger, chronic worry, panic attacks and the perpetual fear of death. This focus on the mental and emotional aspects of recovery is unique. Indeed, the entire book is marked by innovation. It is even evident in the chapters concerned with traditional heart health issues such as diet and exercise. Cardiac Champs is a must read for heart attack survivors and others with heart disease who do not want the condition of their arteries to dictate the kind of life they live.
