African Americans are at a much higher risk of death from heart and cardiovascular disease than are white Americans. Fortunately, better heart health can be achieved by simple changes in lifestyle and diet and through better stress management. This book offers a better understanding of heart disease, including its symptoms; treatment options, benefits, and risks; what to expect from surgery; and how to recognize, prevent, and manage stress. This book will help African Americans reduce their risk of heart disease and live longer, healthier lives.
