Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: For Patients, Their Families, and Interested Physicians
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This unique, succinct book was written by Dr. Barry Maron in collaboration with Lisa Salberg of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association, to fill a void that has existed for over four decades, and serves as a much-needed source of information on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) for those in both the lay and medical communities.HCM is an uncommon genetic disease that has proven exceedingly complex and diverse and therefore has been the source of much misunderstanding. This has most profoundly affected those patients afflicted by HCM, and also their physicians, who may rarely see this disorder. Directed toward both these groups, this book is written in a comprehensible style with minimal medical jargon and covers a wide array of issues from diagnosis, genetics, prognosis, and treatment to a variety of lifestyle guidelines. Consequently, it will serve as an effective resource for HCM patients and healthcare providers who wish to know as much about the disease as possible. Cardiologists with HCM patients should consider providing this useful text to their patients.
