Textbook in PDF format

This book is a comprehensive and empowering book on heart disease that offers a complete picture of managing and living with heart disease. The book, which expands on a previous edition, A Patient's Guide to Hearth Rhythm Problem, published by JHU Press, explores many guideline-based practices, while also sharing supplemental therapies that patients may have otherwise not known about and benefit from including osteopathic therapy, yoga/meditation, mindfulness, etc. Chapters take a deep dive to such procedures as tilt table testing, electrophysiology studies, catheter ablation, and device implantation (including cardiac monitors, pacemakers, defibrillators, and biventricular devices); explains the essentials of CPR and the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs); and presents the latest guidelines from the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society.
Surviving and Thriving With Heart Disease will be a valuable resource for practicing clinicians treating patients with cardiovascular disease as well as nurse practitioners, other medical professionals, and patients
