The Cardiovascular Reference Guide, Volume 2 — Coronary Artery Disease, Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Cardiomyopathy, ATTR-CM & Peripheral Artery Disease

Volume 1 covered the conditions almost everyone eventually encounters. Volume 2 goes further — into the diagnoses that come with more questions, more fear, and far less plain-language material available anywhere online.

This guide breaks down five more advanced cardiovascular conditions — coronary artery disease, heart attack, and heart failure; the difference between ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy; left- vs. right-sided heart failure; ATTR-CM, amyloidosis, and cardiac sarcoidosis; and atherosclerosis/peripheral artery disease (PAD) — in the same plain, everyday language as Volume 1.

What's inside:

What each condition actually is, and how it's diagnosed

What causes it, including real differences by sex and race that affect outcomes

How it's treated — from medication to procedures, in plain terms

What happens if it's left untreated

Diet and exercise guidance specific to each condition

A ready-to-use list of questions to bring to your next doctor's appointment

A quick-reference glossary for every medical term used

Who this is for:

Anyone facing a heart failure diagnosis, a rare cardiomyopathy, or a PAD diagnosis that came with more confusion than clarity. This volume goes deeper than Volume 1, for the conditions that usually come with a longer, harder conversation.
