Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease
My cholesterol was 270. My doctor wanted to prescribe drugs to lower the reading. I found Dr. Ornish's book and followed the 10% low fat diet strictly. In six weeks by cholesterol declined to 192. My weight dropped from 200 pounds to 185. I could not believe how much better I felt. I have more energy and I have as much strength as before. I am never hungary because I eat all day long. My ...

The Way to Success in USMLE Step 1
"First Aid for the USMLE Step 1, 2010 edition" has been significantly revised and changed compare to the previous editions, according to one of my friends experience, who had read the previous editions as well as 2010. If you want to be successful in USMLE Step 1 in 2011, you must have one of this book around. Of course, it is not sufficient to pass the exam, but it is one of the must-read ...

Caldwell B. Esselstyn
Avery Trade, 2008
It's all true and THEN some!
I ordered the Caldwell B. Esselstyn book Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure soon before my November 19 cholesterol panel. Good thing.... My Total Cholesterol was 302 on that day. So I tracked my package and was glad it had shipped early. Then I scanned the Internet to preview his ideas and to get started doing SOMEthing while I ...

Cardio Strength Training: Torch Fat, Build Muscle, and Get Stronger Faster8 reviews
Robert dos Remedios MA CSCS
Rodale Books, 2009
Coach Dos is a Real Gem in the Fitness Industry
I will confirm that the book has some errors. So yeah, shame on the publisher for making Coach Dos look like a dweeb. If it were up to me I would make the publishers do 100 complexes of elevated push up with jumping dumbbell burpees for every error they made. That'll pump some blood and improve their brain function :)
If you are an experienced lifter, the errors can easily be overlooked ...

Cholesterol Down: Ten Simple Steps to Lower Your Cholesterol in Four Weeks--Without Prescription Drugs62 reviews
Janet Brill
Three Rivers Press, 2006
Great results
With a cholesterol count of 258 my doctor was anxious to put me on a drug to lower it but I asked for time to do it with diet. I bought this book and found it not only readable but the steps were well explained, made sense and were easy to follow. I didn't do absolutely everything recommended but still was able to bring my cholesterol down to 215 after 3 months (and this was over the holidays ...

Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty, 4th Edition28 reviews
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
Best Book for Cardiology
This book is #1 on my Top 10 List of All-time Best Medical Texts. I first read this book as an undergraduate during the summer after anatomy and physiology. I might have understood about 5% of it since my medical vocabulary was limited, but I was able to read it because of the clarity of its prose. I read it again in PA school and fell in love with it because it explains the 'how' and the 'why' ...

Healing Hearts: A Memoir of a Female Heart Surgeon 8 reviews
Kathy Magliato M.D.
Broadway, 2010
An AMAZING book!
WHAT A GREAT BOOK! Though I'd like to write her to hopefully ask about some issues she brought up (I'm a nurse), it was SO GOOD. It honestly made me fall in love with medicine again. SO GOOD. It's a great insight into the world of cardiac surgeouns, as well as medicine, as well as heart health. LOVED it -- I'm sad it's over.

The Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need (Thaler, Only EKG Book You'll Ever Need)36 reviews
Malcolm S Thaler
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009
Really!...the only one you need
10 years ago when I was in school, Dubin was the EKG book we were using. A friend recommended Thaler to me and I have been recommending it ever since. He has a casual, entertaining approach (a real treat when your're reading medical textbooks all day) and I still remember some of the examples he used. He starts with how an EKG machine actually works and ends with what I would consider ...

Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late41 reviews
Sinatra, James C. Roberts M.D.
Wiley, 2008
A Wonderful overview for increasing your heart health!
I had a mild heart attack in 1993 and had to remain firm in not undergoing the typical invasive techniques that cardiologists at the time recommended. Too many people with mild heart attacks got bi-pass surgery or stents that almost always are limited in effectiveness and by their very nature cause problems. My father died of heart disease at 54 years of age so I did take my heart attack very ...

EKG fast and furious
Even though i generally dislike pocket cards, this one has worked its way to my heart pretty fast and now it is the only one i am carrying during my residency (long) days.
I am one of those unlucky enough guys to have difficulty memorizing some specific EKG recordings however hard i tried.
For that, i found in this card a friend faster than the internet or any book, because of its simplicity ...

LOVE IT!
This is a great book, it shows you how to use every part of your body and the equipment at the gym. I have a gym membership and was clueless about what to do with the equipment, this book showed me how to use the equipment properly. Basic knowledge for most profesionals, amazing turnaround for people like me. I don't need a personal trainer, the book tell me what to do.
