American Heart Association updates our best-selling book for heart attack survivors and those who love them. This reassuring guide explains with warmth and clarity what causes a heart attack, options to stop some heart attacks, how the heart heals, how heart attack affects moods and activities (including sex) and the risk factors for heart disease. An at-home activities guide is included to help patients gradually return to daily activities.
