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.
