The doctors are often too preoccupied to have an effective conversation and patients are usually skeptical about asking too many questions. A gap is created as a detailed two-way communication is often ignored. Usually itis restricted to a one-way flow of orders from the doctor to the patient. This motivated Dr Aditya Rattan to come out with the idea of writing a book for the masses that discusses their heart-related queries in a simple and lucid manner. Serving as a ready reckoner sort of book which can put away all the uncertainties in the mind of the patient, it is aptly titled “Install antivirus in your heart ware”-One 2 One questions you should ask your cardiologist.

One  can go through an interesting read of commonly raised doubts, questions that patients hesitate to ask, medical awareness of their diets, optimal nutrition, exercise, their optimal values of blood sugar, blood pressure, BMI, lipid profile, etc., desired intake of fats, oils, vitamins, etc.

Consider a few queries like “What should be my normal blood pressure and blood sugar values?” “What is ECG /echocardiography/TMT?How is coronary angiography and stenting done?What should I do to prevent blockages?How is CPR done?

A complete section of the book is dedicated for alternative method of treatment for blocked arteries /angina. This section discusses in detail about ECP therapy, which is a boon for patients who do not wish to undergo angioplasty or bypass surgery.
